Our minds, like tender young seeds, Have burst into bloom under thy loving care, Our thanks can never be expressed in words or deeds For our words only seem bare. As we depart, leaving teachers and friends, We take one last look behind- That long road that stretches, winds, and bends Yet somehow has proven kind. But we know we must look ahead For there are new horizons that yet are to be crossed Old bridges to burn, new bridges to conquer, The trials and goals which are to be won or lost. So to thee we sy our last farewell Our dearest friend among all The opportunities you have given in abundance From your memory filled walls. And when that last bell rings, And we walk the last time down your halls We'll never doubt you're the best of all, We salute you-Seven Springs. KAYE THOMPSON Poet 21
