(Tune of Londonderry Air.) Dear Rosenwald we hate to leave you now at last, We have to go and aeek a higher class A class where, we can finally reach our happiness, As we go along our roads to success. (Chorus) We hate to go since al] the times we ' ve spent with you, and all our friends we ' re leaving here behind, But now we ' re gone, to try to reach our happi- ness as we go along our roads to success. Willie E. Tye FAREWELL THOUGHTS When the twilight shadows cover Hill and dale with purple hue, Then, my dearest Alma Mater, All our thoughts will turn to you- Joyous thoughts so full of rapture, Yet so sad and edged with pain; Thoughts of the days in Rosenwald That will never come again. We owe so much to our teachers Who have helped us on our way. Thoughts at time we tried their patience By our noise and idle play, We will never forget their teaching. And as into the world we go, By their wise and careful guidance We will conquer friends and foe. We have rested securely sheltered Under Rosenwalds protective wings, But like Birdies growing stronger, Now we ' ll fly to higher things. So good-bye to you, dear teachers, Schoolmates kind, and Rosenwald. May your stately wall stand ever, Though wars may rise and kingdoms fall. Audrey J. Tye. 18
