rr Our final year in P. H.S. Has slowly drifted by, Taking with it all the joys And tears of days gone by. How distant seems that Freshman year VVhen we were, oh, so new, Timid and fearful of making friends, VVary of what to do. Yet in one short year Nve were all akin. Then as days flew by Sophomore year stepped in! YVith it came work incredulousg Mlorld History made us pout, But our Soph Hop was fabulous, Of that there is no doubt! As Juniors we thought YVe were really the most, Held our prom in January: Had a right to boast! I Finally we were Seniors, Carefree in all our ways, But a little too negligent. In those few remaining days. Yes, we were Seniors, But those are days of yoreg For sooner than we realized, YVe reached our Future's door. Yet while our thoughts of graduation Carry so much weight, Let us pause and proudly say . . . Class of '61-you're great!! Jw ,Q
