Mc CANN With deep appreciation and respect, we, the Class of 1955, dedicate this volume of the Scot- tie to Mrs. Lilian McCann who is retiring from our faculty this year. Mrs. McCann was born near Dawson in Fayette County. She began her teaching career in 1910 in German Township which is her Alma Mater. Graduated with an A. B. degree from the University of Pittsburgh, she has taken post- graduate work at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania State University, and Columbia University. In 1944, she resigned from her teaching posi- tion to serve as assistant to Dean of Women at Dickinson College. She became a member of our faculty in 1945 as Latin and English teacher. As to her plans for the future, she says, In- stitutional work interests me. If the opportunity comes, I shall in all probability accept it. Whatever activities she engages in, we wish her happiness and good fortune. 3 l MESSAGE-OF SUPERINTENDENT PUFF I TO THE CLASS OF 1955. Graduation from high school for some of you will be the foundation upon which to build more specialized training for professional service, but for many it will be the end of formal schooling. Whatever direction your adult life may take, we hope that the lessons learnedin public schoolwill be of great value to you. If it were possible for me to say Some- thing that would make eve ry one of you stop and think seriously, Iwould impress upon you the fact that you will get out of life in pro- portion to what you are willing to work for. This is no new idea. It has been expressed in many ways throughout the centuries of his- tory, but it has to be learned by every person for himself. Some learn it more easily than others, and some fight against it until they are forced to accede to it. This principle is the foundation of success from whatever angle you would be successful. It is the key which will open the door ofopportunity when every- thing else fails. Work is the world's best medicine. Not only is it true that work never hurt anyone, but it is more justly true that work is good for people. Work is the builder of muscle and sinew. It is the foundation of confidence and self-respect. It is the eliminator of boredom and ennui. Life is an opportunity. You can make of it just what you will. And if you would make of yours a good life, I can wish for you no greater blessing than work - hard, tiring work - but exhilarating and glorious in its accomplishment. With all good wishes, MESSAGE OF PRINCIPAL RONCO TO THE CLASS OF 1955 Young men and women of the Class of 1955, we who have exchanged experiences with you throughout the educative period of your youth wish you Godspeed. May the goals you have set for yourselves be within your horizon, and in seeking these goals, may you constantly keep before you the challenging reminder to be your best selves always. Sincerest wishes for your well-being, 4 L --i 3 'Q SEATED: Robert S. Reese, Melvin Thomas, Cyrus 1. Christner, Marshall Maust, Albert R.

After graduation, West Virginia will be his next stop. He will enjoy life on the University Campus. GERALDINE BANASICK--Gerry. Only one lass in our class like Gerry and she was a busy one. Leading cheers, making posters, working after school, she took it all in her stride and loved it. BARBARA BART--Barb, a very attractive and pleas- ant personality, takes a serious view of life. Her helpfulness will win her top rating as a secretary. ETHEL BAUER--School had little interest for her. Although quiet in class, she could talk a streak when with her friends. In a bubble gum contest, we'd bet on her, SENIORS RANAE BLACKWELL--Ranae has the cutest dimples in school and a complexion to match, Add a happy disposition and you'll know why this petite blonde curlyhead was a popular classmate, DOLORES BOREK--Ashylittle miss witha sweet little smile who was seen, but seldom heard. just couldn't wait for the fourth period class to roll around, FRANK BROWN--A good looking lad with expressive brown eyes. Frank thought the time spent in school was a waste of good time. His hobby was counting days until graduation. GWEN BRYAN--A tiny vivacious brunette, Gwen was the reason for many a wasted study hall. And out of school how she could jitterbugl Sl1e's a go-getter. We wish her success. JANE CAMPBELL--The future plans of this tall slender lass with the beautiful brown eyes and bubbling per- sonality include four years of college. Her wit and charm will rate her a campus favorite. L YE SENIORS SYLVIA CHLEBOSKI--Sylvia was a cheerful good- natured member of our class. The thing she disliked most was homework, She was a booster of dear old Owensdale, her hometown. DEAN CLARK--Dean was a likeable happy-go-lucky chap with a sense of humor a yard wide. He waited all winter for summer so he could leave for Deep Creek, Maryland. MARY ELLEN CLAYBROOK--Good-natured, attrac- tive, and talented, Mary Ellen excels in many ac- tivities, including her studies. Her success is a fore- gone conclusion. ROBERT CURTIS- -Curt. Trim and well-groomed, this classmate kept his mind on his work and seem- ingly was allergic to girls. Played left end on the team. RICHARD DAVIS--This classmate is hard to describe in twenty -five words. Thoughha smart boy, school's a bore to him. He's popular and it was dull in school when Dick was absent. SENIORS ROBERT DEMMA--Pizzon. At the piano or the type- writer Bob made each stroke count. He livened up shorthand class for the girls. An accommodating and good-natured chap. LUCY DEROSA--There was neveradullmoment with energetic Lucy around. Her bubble gum control left us all speechless with admiration. Had a long walk to school. No plans as yet. FRANCES DUNLEVY--Dumpy. Her dark mysterious looks certainly made a hit with the boys which per- haps explains why school was a lesser interest. A friend in need is a friend indeed and that describes Dumpy. LARRY DUQUETTE--Beetle was by far the most talk- ative member in the class and the most romantic, though he wouldn't admit it. He could really play his saxophone. He will talk himself into a good job. LEONARD DZIURZYNSKI--A package of mischief, he hated study and could always think up a way to get out of it. The teachers will miss him, V Y dl' Sh . sf.. em 4 ,A gif A wifi? ,. . ,.,..sf ti Fw aussi .K N . Q' f2ZQi1fQ:f:'z Q' v-1551595 W' X . ,pf ,. 3 f' M y s?.Q::i:l.z SENIORS BEVERLY EICHER--Bev.

THELMA FIRMSTONE--Giggles and Thelma were inseparable. Pretty and carefree. she foundlifejust a bowl of cherries, With such a girl there could be only one future. Lucky man! MARY JO FLYNN--Learning to drive a car gave Marsey-and many others-thrills galore. As a nurse her Irish wit and good nature will be a tonic to her patients. MICHAEL FURLO--Killer. Oh, that Killer! His tricks kept his classmates howling. He could really sing those Polish songs, too. Never a serious moment for him. SENIORS CAROLYN GEEHRING--Carrie was one of the in- separable threesome from Owensdale. She was quiet and didn'tlet many people know what she was plan- ning for the future. Homemaker? CHARLES GRIMM--Charlie. This likeable young fellow seemed to have energy for sports alone, but his smile never failed to bring the girls running. He kept them guessing. SHIRLEY HALL--Shirley was the first girl in the Class of '55 to become engaged. No wonder she had a keen interest in home economics. BARBARA HARDING--Barb is friendly, good-natured, and attractive.

Those threel RUTH HODGE--Ruthie, a classmate we point to with pride, was one of the four named to the Honor Society in her junior year. She had friends by the dozens. EDWIN HONSAKER--Ed. All sports seemed to have equal attraction for this tall, handsome lad. School was the least of Ed's worries. A man of few words, but isn't that the type that can fool you. JANE HOUGH--Janie's poise and perfect grooming added 'oomph' to whatever group she joined. Her blonde hair was the envy of her classmates. She was dependable, too. 1! ' SENIORS M A RJ ORIE H O WA RD --Margie. A good student, Margie's favorite pastime was reading. Although quiet she always appreciated a good joke. She en- joyed her literature classes. DICK HUNKFR--One of the outstanding athletes of our class. A modest lad, he was well-behaved in class and kept his mind on his work.

Strictly an outdoor man, he enjoyed camping, fishing, and hunting. He spent a summer in Connecticut harvesting tobacco. ELIZABETH JANE JARKO--Betty. Here's one of our hardworking girls.

EDWARD KOSTELNOCK--Ed w as our goodlooking Scottie clarinetistwith four years of band work to his credit. His unfailing courtesy won him many friends. VICTOR KULZAK- -Vic, our tall male blonde, always kept the girls guessing about his hair. Tell us,Vic, did you get it from a bottle, or is it natural? EDWARD LANTZ- -To see Buck sauntering intoclass you'd never suspect he was greased lightning on the basketball court. That giggle of his was indescribable. ARDITH LEASURE- -A rdith came to us from East Hunt- ington in her sophomore year to take the commercial course.

R 7 ' . . .kk , 2 SENIORS GRACE LEONARD--Gracie will be long remembered for her prett long dark hair. As soon as school was out she was og' to work on the tobacco farms in Con- necticut, A mere poster became a work of art when Gracie made it.

Glamor with a capital G describes Marlene, MAXINE LUTE--Thisserious-minded member of our class is ambitious. The medical profession attracts her. Many years of hard work await her, if she doesn't change her mind. SARA MAHOKEY--Sara really was the character of the class. Her one purpose in life, was to have a good time. This didn't leave much time for assignments. PHILIP MALONE- -Phil didn't seem to have a worry in the world, He was always late. Phil really de- serves the title of 'The Slowest Man of 1955.

DALE MCCUSKER--Depsy was one of our rough and ready football men. In school he usually had his as- signments finished but he was in for all the fun, too. Never missed a joke, that boyl AUDREY MCFADDEN--A classmate we like because she was sincere and helpful. She was a conscientious student and will be successful in whatever she decides to do. LETTY MERRITT--This bit of atomic energy worked hard to make good grades and never missed the honor roll. But don't get the idea that she had no other interests. JUDY MOURAL--We'll never forget how lovely Judy looked as the Gridiron Queen attendant. She had many friends because she was thoughtful and co- operative. A little classmate we like very much. SENIORS GEORGE MURRAY--George's curly hair was the envy of the girls. He is definitely the out-door type. His study halls were always put to good use. NANCY MYERS--Nancy is one of the Pinetree ga ng and has a very good sense of humor, but oh how she can blush. ROBERT PALMER--Rege. Words fail us when we try to describe Rege.

He likes fun, but he has his serious moments, too. Miff has many talents, but we remember his acting ability. RICHARD RIZZA--Red's a typical Huck Finn. He enjoyed outdoor life and hated tobe shut up in school. He's a slow moving boy, and only food could speed him up. EVELYN ROCHECK--Quiet business-like Evie kept her mind on her work and made high grades in her commercial subjects. She willrate a good secretarial position. EUGENE SCHMITTLE--Gene. Whenthe band march- ed out on the field there was drum major Gene, keeping all fifty of them in tow. Gene is we11-des- cribed as ambitious, hard working, and popular.

She and Eileen are the best of friends. 5' SENIORS SYLVIA SKOVIRA--Sylvia believes a joke can rem- edy any situation. Although she won't admit it, she's a brain! WhenNurseSylvia's on duty, we'llguarantee a rapid recovery. ARTHUR SMITH--Yukki. Hunter, fisherman, and all- round woodsman, this class member had greater in- terests than school.

They soon discovered after school started in September that as upper classmen they had ad- ditional responsibilities. A magazine subscription drive to raise money for the yearbook endedwithS1,138.89 in the class treasury. Class rings had to be selected, and then came tryouts for the junior class play. Juniors are well-represented in school activities. Twelve juniors were on the football varsity, and seven were out for' basketball. Band, Choral Club, F. H. A. all have a high junior quota. A member of this class was the first to receive the National Honor Society Trophy for scholarship. There is only one more year forthese students, and they are looking forward to September, 1955 when they will find themselves in senior home-rooms ready to start that last and best year of high school.

The sophomore class consists of 148 very active boys and girls. Locating classrooms was a little hard at first for those underclass- men, but they knew their way around before long. This is one class that is never at a loss for talent for assemblies and parties. They have many who like to sing: Tom and Kenny Collins, Patricia Tracey, Virginia Stickley, Myrna Honsaker, Mary Ann Zozula and Jeanette Battle, just to mention a few. Add one tap dancer, Judy Amend. The Scottie band is proud of those three attractive sophomore ma- jorettes, Patty Stanek, Charlotte Fleming, and Janice Miller. And don't forget those peppy little cheerleaders, Mary Ann Zozula, Evelyn Dem- agall, and Virginia Stickley. Sophomore football players are Bill Cox, Richard Blum, Ronald Stoner, Joe Ponko, Frances Koshara, Mike Mehallick, and Richard Rea- gen. Yes, this Class of 1957 is a very active group.

HONOR SCCIETY The Scottdale Joint Chapter of the National Honor Society is an organization of which our school is very proud, and to belong to it is con- sidered quite an honor. The purpose of the Society is to give rec- ognition to students outstanding in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The membership is limited to ten percent of the graduating class, three percent of whom are elected in their junior year. Two-year Honor Society members are Ruth Hodge, Jane Ponko, Priscilla Strabel, and Mer- vin Zook. Members named in their senior year included Mary Jo Flynn, Letty Merritt, Darlene Sherbondy, Marjorie Weaver, and Elizabeth Zerilla. An additional two percent will be cho- sen at the close of the first semester. First semester officers were: president, Priscilla Strabelg vice president, Ruth I-Iodgeg secretary, Jane Ponkog and treasurer, Mervin Zook. Miss Dick is the teacher sponsor of the Hon- or Society.

Getting off to a late start in November this ac- tivity won strong supportwith amembership of forty students. Movies explaining camera construction and technique of picture-taking made club meetings interesting. Special reports were also given. A snapshot contest announced in December closed January 31, and trophies were awarded to the three best 5 x 7 dull finish prints. This club sponsored by Mr. Seese and with Eugene Schmittle as its president has had a good year and promises to be one of the school's most popular activities. IST ROW: R. Ingelido, P. Martz, J.

ORCHESTRA This year the Scottie orchestra had a chance to make public appearances with all members present. Becauseof the adaptation of the Strand Theatre stage to cinemascope the school plays were given in East Huntingdon's School auditorium which has an orchestra pit large enough for the twenty-member Scottie group. The orchestra is always well represented at all district, county, and state festivals. G.C. Hazen, director, is especially proud of the string section which is one of the few in West- moreland County. There are four seniors in the orchestra: Priscilla Strabel, violin and viola: Letty Mer- ritt, pianog Beverly Eicher, trumpet and cellog and Eugene Schmittle , oboe, These experienced members will be missed when orchestra tunes up next September. 47 .. 415 4. .. , - g H 1 fp..

Hazen had an outstanding sea- son. The new good-looking snare drums and two Scotch drums added greatly to the volume of sound made by the fifty-member band as they marched smartly down the field led by Drum Major Eugene Schmittle. New blue corduroy jackets added greatly to their appearance, too. The new precision drills wonfavor with the spectators as did the other for- mations used. Excellent musical performance and showmanship once again marked the 1954-1955 band year. OPEN HOUSE L. 4-8 TEARS WERE SHED When the Scottie band plays Auld Lang Syne at the last game of the season, senior members all at once realize how much fun they have had. Among these seniors are some real veterans: Chuck and Beverly Eicher with a six-year record as trumpetersg Judy Heise, Larry Duquette and Gwen Bryan, five yearsg Letty Mer- ritt and Ed Kostelnock, four years. Eugene Schmittle also has four years, his last two as drum major. Additional senior members include Gerald Swink, Sylvia Skovira, Priscilla Strabel, and Ruth Hodge. To these twelve members we say Auld Lang Syne. EUGENE SCHMITTLE 5 L'l53i ' I lm I I l A,QQ00 er FIRST ROW: P. Maloy, S. King, P, Clelland, P, Sager, A. Smith, P. Tracy, J, Steindel, A, Weaver, M.

CHORAL CLUB The highlight of the ChoralClub year is the Christmas Cantata, and practice for it is started early in the year. The Light of the World, a Christmas candlelight cantata by Ellen Jane Lorenz, was the selection of the director, Mrs. Alice Martz, this year, and it was presented by the 58-member choral group in the First Baptist Church on Thursday evening, December 14. Priscilla Strabel and Peggy Martz were the accompanists. The beauty and thrill of the cantata was reward enough to the group for the many hours of practice. Choral Club members represent Scottdale Joint High School at district, county, and state chorus. Practice for these choral events was next on the year's program. The Club also has good times outside of school. Will they ever forget that picnic under a full harvest moon at F1ynn's last October? 4 , P' 'fs 50 y .4 P is .Ml-lt THE BRASS ENSEMBLE is in CHORAL CLUB Eighteen seniors represented the Class of 1955 in Choral Club this year. All the officers were selected from this group withEugene Schmittle, presidentg James Tischke, vice presidentg Priscilla Strabel, secretaryg and Ranae Black- well, treasurer. Three seniors have attended County chorus: Mary Ellen Claybrook in 1954g and Priscilla Strabel and Beverly Eicher in 1955. An important decision was made this year in the selection ofa standardized pin. Designed by Dieges and Clust, it is made of sterling silver with blue and white enamel border bearing the school and club name. It will be presented to all the senior Choral Club members and will remind them of the happy hours spent in choral work in their High School Alma Mater. IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR 43'-.1 Qavfm u SCQTTIE CHEERLEADERS Throughout the football and basketball season, the peppy cheerleaders in their snappy royal blue jumpers and white turtle neck sweaters did their best to lead the teams to victory. Four of these were seniors. Geraldine Banasick, with two years of experience, could be counted on to be in there yelling for the Scotties. Elizabeth Zerilla also led cheers for two years. Areal tomboy, Liz was at her best when urging the kids to give out at pep meetings. Dar- lene Sherbondy joined the cheerleaders her senior year, and a more loyal Scottie fan you'l1 never find. Dar never gave up cheering or hoping until the final whistle. Jane Hough was a valuable addition to the group and dreamed up many of those new angles to the old cheers. These were our senior cheerleaders. Of the remaining four cheerleaders, Mary Ann Zo- zula, Evelyn Demagall, and Virginia Stickley were sopho- mores, and Phyllis Shannon was the lone junior in the group. Three cheers for the Scottie cheerleaders! They are really tops! 155 Lueuuk- 'rf ,, - 'fd THE SCCTTIE MAJORETTES The half time performance of the Scottdale Joint High School band at football games was always highlighted by the antics of the Scottie Kilties. In their colorful Scottie outfits, they furnished entertainment with their various twirling routines, and we are proud of them. All classes are represented in this seven-girl group. Sally Tyska, a three year majorette, could really strut her stuff and gave a sharp performance on the football field and in parades. Jane Ponko brought honor to this group by being chosen Gridiron Queen of 1954. As a majorette she was tops, too. Seniors Jane and Sally worked hard for three years, training new majorettes. In line with Sally and Jane were two juniors, Alice Weaver and Jane Stella. Three sophomores, Charlotte Fleming, Pat Stanek, and Janice Miller joined the group this year. Practice makes perfect, and these seven girls put in many hours of hard work perfecting their routines for those brief appearances at half times. 'N . la .

SENIOR DRAMATICS CLUB One of the newest clubs organized in Scottdale Joint High School is the Dramatic Club under the sponsorship of Miss Margaret Laughrey. The Powder Puffers, as they called themselves, were divided into three sections, two for the juniors and one for the seniors. Branson Roberts and Harold Davis were presidents of the junior groups and Charles Eicher headed the seniors. These groups were organized to learn how to produce and stage plays as well as to take part in them. Junior and senior class play casts were chosen from these groups and one-act plays were presented by each group under the direction of student coaches both at club meetings and assemblies. All who was really interested in dramatics enjoyed this club very much. Nil FIRST ROW: D. Shandorf, S. Skovira, M. A. Manarczyk, S. King, L. Merritt, M. E. Claybrook, G. Bryan, M. hopes.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY The talents of the senior play cast were put toa severe test on the opening night of the class play, Three Miss- es and a Myth, but in spite of a few minor setbacks, the production was greeted by overwhelming applause. Suzie, a teen-age girl with a lively imagination started the ball rolling when she announced that all were to be treated to a visit by Merglethorpe. This was all well and good until the family discovered that Mergle- thorpe just wasn'tg he was a creation ofthree small girls' imagination. Suzie and her friends really clouded mat- ters up, but because of some unexpected developments Merglethorpe had to take a back seat, and the household got back to normalcy once more. The excellent coaching of the director,Miss Laughrey, accounted for the fact that every member of the cast gave an outstanding per- formance. SENIOR CLASS PLAY LEFT TO RIGHT: S.Skovira,M.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The junior class play, Curtain Going Up, a three- act comedy by Gregory John- ston, was presented in East Huntington High School audi- torium on the evening of December 16. This play was about a playg that is the problems of a young Miss Burgess who was coaching her first high school play in the small town of Riverview. An advice-giv- ing janitor, a home econom- ics teacher, an uncooperative class sponsor, and a cast of nerveracking students add- ed up toa rough time for her. But that wasn't all. A stage- struck leading girl and boy, a jealous boyfriend, the un- happy girl who didn't get the lead, and many other charac- ters added to the dilemma of Miss Burgess. Co uple s break up and make up, but in spite of all previous dif- ficulties the production goes off smoothly. This play was an out- standing junior production. Miss Laughrey directed it, and Dorothy Kimball was the assistant student director. FRONT ROW: P. Johnson, M. Nebesny, P. Bolosky, A. Weaver, E. Kulczak. Standing: H. Davis, M. Smith J. Wheeler.

With twenty - nine on the squad, thirteen of whom were seniors, the team though average size displayed tremendous courage and good clean sports- manship. Lo s s of valuable players through injuries early in the season corn- pelled the use of green material in key spots. With two wins and two 7-5 losses it can be said that the Scotties put up a good fight in face of bad breaks. The fortunes of football were definitely against them in 1954. COACHES V. Bahanna, M.

CHARLES GRIMM-Spizz, 180 lb. fullback, playing his sec- ond year on the Varsity was one of our best defensive and offensive players. He could be depended on for extra yardage. A field man he has been in track competition four years and made second-All State on the discus last season. EDWIN HCNSAKER-Big Ed, a four-year letterman in football, was co-captain of the Scottie elev en and was named to first string All- County. All-sports Ed is also a three-year letterman in basketball and in track. He set the all- time S c ottie r e c o r d on the court this season when he racked up 32 points against Dunbar. Age limitation kept him out of track competition his senior year but he tie d the school record on the pole vault the pre c e dingseason. DICK HUNKER-An appendectomy eliminated Dick from football early in the s ea s on but he came back strong for basketball, considered one of the Big- Three Scotties with Banasick and Honsaker. He was named to the A.l1-Section 10 team. He is out for his fourth letter in track this spring and will furnish rough c ompetition on high andlow hurdles and the 100-yd. dash as he fre- quently placed first in all three last year. 68 l is 5 .E i E ll- 3 if X ki l.

VICTOR KULCZAK-Vic, l70-lb.guard,let- tered in football for the first time this year. He saw a lot of action and was a hardworking conscientious playe r . Vic was a dependable teammate. ED LANTZ-Ed, is a four-year letterman in basketball and is out for his fourth letter in track this spring. As guard, he is one of the finest ball handlers and passers in the WPIAL. The pole vault and the mile are his track specialties. PHILIP MALONE-In football Flip was a speedy open-field runner and in bas- ketball, a tremendous outs ide set shot and a good defensive guard. He is a two year lette rman in basketball, and will probably get his fourth letter in track this spring. Phil has cleared eleven feet in the pole vault several times and made All-County last year in this event . He also is in high jump com- petition. DALE MCCUSKER-Dipsy was a valuable player on the Scottie eleven and gave the game all he had. His experience and weight helped make Scottie gains. GEORGE MURRAY-This was the first and last season for Murray who played right guard. Used in jayvee games he also saw action on the Varsity in the Dunbar game. GEORGE WICKER-As no. 66 Elmer had the job of pilot- ing the Scotties and did a fine job. This hardfighting Scottie quarterback was a veteran of four seasons with three years on the Varsity.

S.J.H.S. students will have proud memories of the 1954-1955 basketball sea- son for many years to come and none more so than the senior members of the Section X championship team. Coached by Eugene Moffettassisted by Walter Keibler and Scotties ripped through their ZZ-game schedule with twenty wins to their credit. Crowned champions of Section X after ten consecutive wins, the Scotties traveled to Pittsburgh for W.P.I.A.L. playoffs only to be eliminated by Ford City. They also were de fe ate d by Jeannette in the County playoffs at Greensburg. 70 BASKETBALL JUNICR VARSITY H. Davis, D. Kimbal. J. Pisula, B. Yake, R. Porter, F. Koshiara, K. Reese, T. Fleming, C.

TRACK After winning the Class B title six out of seven years, the Scotties will move into Class A track this year. This should have little or no effect upon the success of the Scotties' regular season, and they will have a chance to try for the Class A title at Pitt stadium. The team looks pretty good with many lettermen returning and a few new prospects. The track squad numbers forty members in- cluding eight seniors. COACHES E. Moffett, W.

CLASS SONG fTune: If I Give My Heart To Youl We are leaving Scottdale High, And its memories we hold dear We shall think of all the joyful times And the fun we've had for years. Some may never meet again, For the great wide world is ours, We will swear that we'll be always true To the school to us so dear. And we will leave all the friends we've made Shake their hands, say we're sad, And always be close as we are to them today But goodbye and fond farewell! We must face the world with hope, And so let the bond between us all Be ever strengthened by the years. s Words by D.
