0 the U nderclassmen We, the Senior Class, shall soon leave youg With sad, yet new hopes we shall pass out. We can, look back on our worki and say to you From the depths of our hearts without doubt Our record is a good oneg we leave it to you! We shall, perhaps, miss our school days But we must go forward and leave no regrets behind. There is much for us to do in many different ways. The cogs of progress must. stay in line And we must gog weire all in that, line. VVe have had the faculty's leadership and cooperation In all things we have attempted to do, And we wish to express to them our appreciation Which is more than rightly due. We know that they will do the same for you. The school and its work have been our pride. Hard we've tried to raise its standards high. Never let it be said, The spirit of the graduating class of' '35 has died. VVe hope that you will to greater heights onward' fly Up above all previous graduates of Parsons High. Sincerely yours, GRADUATING CLASS OF '35. -Cecil Pennington. '1-s-4Ee.ggaxfnr4n1x1C5f
