At times we've thought our teachers, Just live from day to day, To think up ways to take from us, The time we spend at play. We've even thought our parents’ hearts. Were made of hardest stone, For insisting on the homework Instead of visits on the phone. But now that we're taking a higher step. And facing a harder test -We pause to thank you one and all For helping us do our best. Sometimes in the years ahead As you watch this class achieve, Please feel glad you found a way To teach us what you believe. 26 of Success Seniors in Pep Rally A day in the life ...

The older students taking charge. Your suggestions were kept hidden. So you left them at large. Now as you grow wiser In the things that you do. You still show your pride And a great spirit too. Though the time passes slowly, Your enthusiasm grows. That day gets much nearer, And your happiness shows. Now the ring on your finger Signifies a special need, To forfeit the act of following, And triumphantly take the lead.
