,,.u..f CLASS POEM MEMORIES OF GILEAD O fellow classmates, all too soon There comes the time, though oft unjust, When we, without fond backward looks, Must leave our teachers and our booksg And friends, whom meinory ne'er o'erlooks For graduate we must. We know that in our hearts will live The fondest mem'ries of these years-- The flagpole, where the gang all metg The lawn, each morning, dewy wetg These little things We'll not forget Though youth soon disappears. We'll also think of teachers who Would help us over high school's hills, Of fun we had on all our tripsg Of groups of friends, all making quipsg And, finally, of Conduct Slips. This, memory distills. And now, as faces forward turn To greet the task of life anew, We'll try to do our best to live As best we can, to life We'll give Our all. And this is positive ---- MOUNT GILEAD, HAIL TO YOU!
