Farewell Oh isn’t it great O classmate dear That) we have completed our Senior year, And feel that we have completed at last The steps on the high school ladder, we were to pass. Although there were times that seemed rather blue, And we felt we would never see the sun’s golden hue. There were times that seemed more bright than the day, And work was all laughter and studies were play. Although our high school years have only been “four,” We feel that we could enjoy many years more, For our high school is one of the best in the state, And as for our pupils, well!—They’re never late. So here’s to our school days with ever so much praise, For we’ll love, honor, and cherish them all thru our days; And we’ll remember the faculty and the old school “bell,” And wish you all “good luck”—“farewell, farewell.” Page Twenty-eight
