And who will walk a mile with me Along life’s weary way? A friend whose heart has eyes to see The stars shine out o’er the darkening lea And the quiet rest at the end o’ the day, A friend who knows and dares to say The brave, sweet words that cheer the way Where he walks a mile with me. With such a comrade, such a friend, I fain would walk till journey’s end, Through summer sunshine, winter rain, And then? — Farewell, we shall meet again! from “A Mile With Me” by Henry van Dyke 14 Frankie Lavonda Beverly Jimmy Melissa “Mary Jane” Tootie yaad Kathy “Barbara” 15 Class of “83” Herbert Preston Asbury dr.
