Dear Classmates, can you realize, 118 time to say good-bye, To all our friends and teachers, At dear old Rutland High? We have a few pangs of regret, As our memory fondly recalls, The many busy but happy hours, We have spent within these walls. We were thrilled with our Importance, As we entered our Freshman year. But we hoped that no one else could see, How our hearts were quaking with fear. The next year found us Sophomores The word means a wise fool, And our class was unanimously voted, The wisest in the school. As Juniors we began to realize, That our task was extremely great, When we found how much work must be done, Ere a diploma we could rate. When we became Seniors, it seemed to us, The goal was coming In sight. As we started plans for a program, For our Commencement Night. To the teachers whose patience we have tried With all our school kid pranks, And to the parents who look on us with pride We owe a vote of thanks. To each of you, much credit is due, For your guidance along the way, It is your help that made possible, Our Graduation Day. When in old age we think with pleasure, Of the days that have gone by, There are none we shall more fondly treasure That those days spent at Rutland High . May we do our life's ’-rork in such a way, Tho' the honor be small or great, That in future years, you may all be proud, Of the Class of 148 '.
