Class Song The time has come for us to part And travel on our separate ways, But a kind spot ever in our hearts Shall remind us of our bright school days. We tread on pathways dark, alone Remembering teachings given by you Though back of the clouds the sun has gone The knowledge gained here brings us thru. In all the dark days up ahead When we look up to see the sun Shine thru. To bring us through instead Encouragement from your glory won. So farewell Orleans, School of old, Your memory shall ever last And everyone, both shy and bold. Remembers good times all gone past. PAGE THIRTY

It isn’t absurd or impossible you must agree. It is an opportunity for Orleans to prove itself to its younger generation. We, as citizens of a prosperous community, should be willing to do all that is in our power to push this move- ment on to success. Some of you may scoff at the idea, but more of you, I’m sure, would be glad to help credit Orleans with a new and modern building. As we in the graduating class of 1946 go out into the world tonight, we wish to thank you for your part in bringing us to this long awaited moment. The one thing in particular which we urge is that you help, not only the young people, but yourselves and your community by keeping this argument in mind, and not letting another decade slip by without further development. Must this issue be left as just talk” or can’t we make it an actual feat? Priscilla Bennett, ’46, Valedictorian. l'A(iK TWENTY-NINE
