Page Sixteen CHRONICLE Jw lass oem FAREWELL Farewell to old Lewis, the school that we love, We lift up reverent voices to the heavens aboveg Farewell to the teachers from whom we must part, We'll always remember them deep in our hearts. Farewell to fellow classmates, now ,tis the time For each and everyone to begin the long hard climb Up the rocky highway of life Through times of peace and times of strife. W7e pray our class of ,fl-4 may be Able to withstand the blast of life's destiny, Determined in whate'er we may have to do VV ith the fortitude and endurance to carry it through. We are gathered here this memorable day For a few words, before each goes his separate wayg A sigh on our lipsg a hint of tears in our eye, Regretting that we must leave dear old Lewis High. The world of today looks upon us of tomorrow With eyes of pity and hearts of sorrow. For upon our shoulders, young and strong Will rest the burdens caused by evil and wrong. So itis farewell to classmates and teachers of old All our love for you in our hearts we enfold. Farewell to dear Lewis enshrined in our heart From thee, Alma Mater, we needs must part.
