CLASS POEM We as seniors have come to say Good-bye to friends we meet today. It’s been great pleasure tagging along, But we ' re sorry to part from friends we’ve known. With kind hearts we wish to express. To our teachers we wish great happiness. Our principal and janitor, too; We want good luck to come to you. As we look out into the future with eyes of cheer We ' ll always know that God is near. To help us in all we do and say And guide us all along our way. As time goes on and years fly by. We hope to reach success and why? Because that’s the best for all you know. In order to make our country grow. Once more we say good-bye to all. Hope we’re never forgotten, wherever we fall. We bid you all a fo nd adieu. And hope our wishes will all come true. - Ruth Baker CLASS SONG (Tune: My Wild Irish Rose) We may sing of our school days, which we have enjoyed, And think of the good times we’ve had. Just to have it all taken away from us now. It will leave us so blue and so sad. We’ll face our career, which we cherish so dear. It will mean more to us than pure gold. And our one wish has been that some day we may win. A future with comfort and joy. Chorus: Dear old Nahunta School, we hate to say good-bye. But now at last the time has come; so now we must fly. It is so sad to go, for we still love you so. In this world so fair there ' s none can compare With our dear Nahunta School Days. With hearts filled with joy, the world ' s full of things. And our lives that happiness bring. Yet greater to us than all of its charms, and each holds off burdens that harm. ’Twas given to us in a world that we know; It has done things great, we appreciate. It is dearer by far than the world’s brightest star; And it means so much where we go. - Rose Ferrell
