Edward F. Searles High School 193 ' CLASS ODE THE DEBT TO OUR SCHOOL Thou school, wherein for three long years We ' ve passed, from day to da , Through studies that will prove worthwhile To help us on our way, At last we ' ve reached that shining hour We ' ve wailed long to know, And, strange tho ' it may seem, deep down We hesitate to go. Within thy ivy-mantled walls Show me the girl or D03 ho has not found some happiness, Some incident of joy. We fin ! ii hard to realize We ' ll hear thy bell no more, But, hear instead life ' s turmoil and The great industrial roar. problem looms before us now Such as we ' ve neve- met— Of what to do, of where to go.

1937 Edward F. Searles High School CLASS SONG Three years, have they seemed long, dear friends These years together spent? Perhaps some days brought gloomy skies, While others sunshine sent. But steadily we ' ve trudged along Just stumbling here and there, And there ' s been many a helping hand A friend, a pal, to care. The gates fling wide; we ' re marching forth To conquer who can say, Our work, not ended, just begun — Come classmates, on our way.
