30 CLASS POEM WOur Tenetn We are thrust into the violent, tempestuous sea. As we launch our unwieldy craft from its anchorage, With hopes as fresh as the new-grown bohea,-- ' The blatant crew released from its tutelage Like immured criminals embark on their pilgrimage. As the surging billows impede our course To that Portal Gate of God's Heritage, The knights of wisdom implore for recourse That there may be no feeling of remorse. If you find fault, be not double-faced. There is no more an offensive trait. Tell him, not others, what he disgraced. Say nothing ever to 1nJure the state. But act with both fervor and zeal-- That is the royal highway to honor and glory, Make it your duty the many troubles to healg For one answered willingly with glee Is worth more than a.score by degree. Our great task is not capturing some lofty post, For real leaders are not those of haughty acclaim, But the humble folk who frown or boast Must lay the bridge for youth to claim Who has carved the chasm 'twixt home and fame. If you can't be a roaring river, be a rippling brook, Better little unstained than big blotched with By playing your game only to win by rock. Be the best in every corner and nook 77107 WMM shame, CLASS SONG Farewell to Shenango Keeping pace with the wings of time, The old faith holds true as before, Our past years have flown rapidly, And now we face an unknown future. Seniors, we're rounding up our high school Never to return together againg - Then let us Join in a farewell song, Giving praise to dear Shen-Hi. Pleasant thoughts will ever,rema1n As we close our days with you. dayB, Our contributions have been small, But in exchange much has been given to usg You have planted in our mind ideals Which we'll try to uphold, come what may. We have enjoyed our tasks assigned, Though sometimes they appeared quite large. Our minds lean back through these memories, But while our joys may be exultant to leave-- Where will we find a place more dear Than our own true-Shen-H1 School? MLMQKJQ Qi
