Pagc Twelve lass Poem PARTING OF WAYS I We are gathered here to bid farewell, To Lewis, let our voices swell- With praise, and veneration found, In our hearts so staunchly bound- To our Alma Mater. II We are here gathered to bid farewell- To our Fellow-classmates, know we them so well To the lads who will go off to Chafe- May God bless them, and keep them safe. III Please - God - Make our class of 6113 Have the fortitude needed for liberty, Enable them to distinguish right from wrong- That this great country may be eternally strong. IV Give them good judgment unto the end- For wisdom and sage will be needed 'when This war-torn world starts the long, hard climb- And we to this task - must ourselves bind. V We all must go our separate ways- But we,ll never forget our carefree days, The hours weive spent together here- Will live forever, to bring us cheer. VI Farewell to the teachers, their guiding hands, Gur friends who have helped us take the stand- Who fought our battles, come what may, Acclaim them the winners, this glorious day l l VII Now that it's time to say goodbye, Saddened hearts we cannot deny- But let's wish for happiness - not for tears, To guide us through the coming years.
