Our good times and our bad, Through our High School days it's known us, And seen the fun we've had. You hold among your aging walls. Memories of years gone by. You've held the secret of our fears. And offered comfort to our departing tears. Let's just say you've done your duty, We, as Students, certainly know. That if there's a Heaven for old High Schools, That is where you, our High School, will go. rftouttcL Sctvoat _ s4ieti t t etf, N DEANNA CHRISTIANSON She is why gentlemen prefer blondes.
