1939 Envman F. SEARLES HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SUNG All our school-days are over: our lessons are learned 'As we gather to claim the reward we have earned, Let us think of the joys of those days that have passed, Of the victlries accomplished, whose splendor will last. HNO Reward Without Labori' we chose then to guide Us o'er obstacles strewn on a path long and wide. lts pow7r has not lessened, its spell has not ceased, As the sum of the years of our school-life tincreased. Classmates, now as we draw nigh the close of those years, Let us think not of parting with sorrow or tears. Therels a world we must oonquerg there's work we must do. c'No Reward Without Labor will help us win through. Shirley' Qurinn
