Students dance, exchange pictures, hopes, dreams, Happiness is eating A bologna sandwich Or Sharing an apple with Your very best friend. It’s A football game with The confetti and cold And Leaping cheerleaders. It’s being walked to class By Your very favorite person Or passing a quiz In English III. It’s Getting your contacts in time For The Prom or being On the track team. It’s fixing your cap and gown Or being insulted By A friend and knowing he Doesn’t really mean it. It’s Knowing you can translate If you’re called on Or Being a senior in an assembly When the eldest go first. Yet Happiness is not all noise Nor bands and majorettes. It’s Also just a moment In the quiet of the night When You’re alone in peace With yourself and God. 8

for progress, learning for upcoming generations Tradition Is a part Of Man, a part Which cannot Be Severed from His soul. It Serves him in His hour of Grief: Upon it he Can rely, and It Gives him a Means by which He Can express the Height of ecstasy In His hour of joy. Tradition is A wilted flag, Flown Solemnly at Half-mast. A President has Died and we ease Our Aching hearts. And tradition Is A football game, The last of The Senior year. Yet we cannot rest In Mere tradition; We must forever live And Strive for progress. 7
