CHALLENGE From Freshman to Senior is a long road Many companions were lost by the way, Diligently we have carried our load Awaiting this happy and joyful day. Four years of hard work and patience we've spent And today we have at last reached our goal, It's hard to realize where that time went But have we actually reached our goal? Graduation is but a stepping stone On this twisting bending stairway of life, Here we stand bewildered, on out own But we can't tum and run because of strife, If the highest peaks we are to find And meet our success some future day, We'1l have to put our misgivings behind And meet life with squared shoulders, come what may, Louis Jones
