Page Sixteen -'Wi CHRGNICLE W lass oem ADIEU OF '42 The day is here, our ways must part, For each of us a heavy heart. No more shall we, each happy day, Start work, then end that day with play. Such thoughts depress, so let's think back, To times and things not quite so black, Remember when, with eyes all bright, We started High with main and might. And then that year, as knowledge grew, We failed to give the credit due To them, our teachers, versed in lore For what they added to our store. As Sophs , of course, we grew more staid, Each boy a man, each girl a maid. We grasped our work with greater vim Ambition teeming to the brim. Our unior year with thrills supreme, Sports and dances, a student,s dream. Still, some more from books to learn From which, we hope, a good return. Last fall, as seniors, our last lap began, Some of us lagging, the rest in the van We've worked and slaved and pulled to-gether And faced the facts in good and bad weather So where we stand and what we've learned We owe to our teachers and for what we've earned We thank each one and make this prayer That Heaven rewards their patience there. Our job is now a sterner one A task that must be quickly done For now at war is our fair land Which calls us for a helping hand. I have no doubt, within the year, Some boys, some girls will not be herc. In some far-off and foreign land They'll help our country in its stand. 'Tis not Hgood-bye , we each will say, But - See you soon, some other day. May God see fit to bless your life And keep you free of too much strife. By JULIA BRINLI1 N
