Class Song TuNE: Smiling Through We have come to the end of our school days so dear To the parting of friends tried and true; We have studied, we’ve tried We have laughed and we’ve cried, In our happy years at dear old Rock Springs High. There’s a new life before us, a future to face, There’s a part to be played by each one; But through all the long years Through our smiles and tears, Our hearts will yearn for dear old Rock Springs High. Joy Marie LitTLe Class Flower Red Rose Bud Class Motto “Not Finished, Just Begun.” Class Colors Red and White

Senior Class History Our time has come. After twelve years of ups and downs we have reached our goal. We are Seniors! In reward for our efforts we get a first glimpse of the boundless meadow of Life, which stretches out at our feet, breath-taking and beck- oning. But why do we try to describe the way we feel? To capture the real glory one must stand where we stand and witness the scene we see. For a short moment we hesitate here. A short time ago we were chil- dren, protected and carefree. Now we have grown up—adults, respon- sible for ourselves and for the future. We know that out there, some- where, is a place for each of us. It may be a stately place or an humble one, but if we will live by the motto: “Not finished, just begun,” our search will not be in vain. We will find our place. The years together have been happy ones. There is a bond between us that cannot be broken. We have laughed together, learned together, and in the future this bond of friendship will come to the aid of those in our class who should need it. The meadow beckons. Ina while we will begin the search. We extend a hand in appreciation to everyone who helped us gain this place. For those who are trying to reach the goal, have courage and fortitude. The reward is worth the effort. Evsre KING Historian
