Good luck to oil the underclassmen for success in the future and to the S€NIORS good luck with your future lives. We hope your dreams come true. TO TH6 SENIORS Rs we reach out our hand The diploma we grasp. While we think of the memories Of the years in the past. Tears fill our eyes Because it’s all gone We're starting a new life, We have to move on. We hope friends will keep in touch Rs the years pass us by, Rlthough it hurts inside We'll try not to cry. We think of kindergarten Rnd our first day, Now we’ve reached the end We are going away. How do you say good-bye? To friends who mean so much Will there be time To sincerely keep in touch. Vou’ll always have the memories Of your school years from day one Don't think of school as ending — Think a new life has begun. 4
