Page Eighteen -mf CHRONICLE Jw'- lczss oem FAREWELL TO LEWIS We have come to the end of another year, And we think of the fun we have had. All the memories of Lewis we hold dear, Each brings to us feeling-so poignant-so glad. As we travel the rough highway of life, Each one of us taking a separate way, We shall triumph over hardships and constant strife, Making lighter the problems we meet each day. The days spent in Lewis were days filled with joy, Which shall always be treasured deep in each heart, These are memories that no one will ever destroy, They are fond recollections of which we're a part. To those who helped to make dark places clear, While we worked there in old Lewis High, We give grateful thanks and wishes sincere, For a future of happiness none will deny, For a future that's lighted by shining rays, Of life that is safe and secure, Where they are not menaced by sad arrays, Of darkness and hardships which none can endure. We are happy that we in this land can be Where the sky is so blue over head, In a land where the strong arm of liberty Shields us from war and from dread. J 9 Continue to guide us in freedom's light, And to make our way surer each day, Make the stars and stripes in 'GOld Glory bright, Shine above us forever, we pray. You, dear school, have taught us to know, That the path which good citizens tread, Is one that is lighted by freedom's glow, A star of bright hope over head. Now to our Alma Mater, Lewis High, We give a rousing hearty cheer, And our hearts are sad as we say good-by, To memories and loyal friends so dear. By EVALYN C. Joi' 'L

-wtf CHRONICLE 144'- The following September everything was different. Everybody fully realized it was the last year of hard labor. Only one hundred ten prisoners were left to Hnish the term. They all worked harder so as to receive their walking papers. Those elected to lead during this last year were: President, David Powers, Vice-President, Nathalie Kasekg Secretary, Virginia Ingelido, Treasurer, Francis Pepe, Class Adviser, Deputy Warden Ryan. Many were the afternoons that Powers, Lovie, Grace, Klemovich, Spreda, and Kritz made prison breaks. Chief Warden Phelan kept a sharp look-out from his watch tower, so the culprits were always caught. As a result, during probation hours they were detained anywhere from three hundred to seven hundred minutes as punish- ment. In February 26-27 the Senior members gave a play called uGoing on Seventeen. Under the patient supervision of Deputy Warden Bunce, this play surpassed all of those that were given by the Institution, Orchids should have been given to Clayton Balch and Lorraine Parizo who stole the show. During the epidemic of Hun many prisoners feigned illness. COnc could hardly blame them, though.j The members of the class who participated in various sports wished to play against Sing Sing but that ambition was never realized. June's activities will pass quickly-Class Night and the Senior Prom. Then soon will come the glorious day when the Senior prisoners will be given their freedom. They will bid farewell to Lewis High and go out into the world to seek their fortunes. When they reach their respective goals, they will not forget that the four years of hard labor at Lewis High is the foundation of their success. NATIWIALIE Ktxslili FRANCIS EG.-XN Page Seventeen
