L.H.S. CHRONICLE lass oem LEAVING LEWIS The years have gone so quickly by, Our time is now up, it seems: So the past and its happy memories, We will know, but only as dreams. We Hnd it awfully hard to think Of leaving Lewis High And bidding farewell to all the fun Which we knew in days gone by. We'll miss our classmates one and all, Our buddies, the pals we knew, And to leave our alma mater Is something hard to do. We'll miss that school upon the hill, The teachers we learned to know, The fun we had at football games: Gee, how we hate to go!!! We'll miss those dances, those hot dog sales, The tardy bell at eight, The Senior Prom, and the many things Which we learned to appreciate. Weill even miss those books we read, The lunch time gossip, too, Those squeaky boards in the hallway, And the little things we knew. We'll miss our study hall comrades, Those tough exams we had, The dread of those English classes, Which really weren't so bad. Weill miss our buddies, all of them, The baseball games in the spring, The fun that we had in Glee Club, And the songs we used to sing. Wefll miss those colors we knew so well, Our team mates with whom we played, We'll miss those happy faces, And the friendships which we made. This may sound rather strange to you, And maybe hard to believe, But it means a lot to we Seniors Now that we have to leave. JIMMY WALLACE
