SENIOR SONG SENIORS FAREWELL Here we are leaving O .11. S. With nothing hut a memory of the school that we love best. One Senior class that’s reluctant to go. Out from the school we think Just so. Here we are. Class of '39; Life is now before us; school Is left behind; Put all the memories of those happy days Will linger in our hearts and minds always. Do you remember the years we've spent together in this school? Learning what we should and should not do. Do you remember the fun we’ve had? The paper wads we’ve shot; And then to top It off, the dirty looks wo got? So here we are. in our caps and gowns, Leaving dear O. H. S. hoping for renown; One Senior class that now bids you adieu Hopes later your friendship to renew. We write of our school days And the merry times we’ve had. Yet as we go our ways We feel a little sad. The joys and the sorrows Of the years now past Will brighten our tomorrows. And linger 'til the last. The future now before us Is waiting to be lived; And it’s up to each of us Our very best to give. But now we’re graduating And leaving O. H. S.: The world for us is waiting, And with it. our success! Farewell to friends and teachers Whom we will leave behind; And we hope you’ll long remember The Class of 39. Ten
