L.H.S. CHRONICLE lass oem We were a trifle anxious And in quite a baffling Mmessf' Where would we get a poem That could honestly express The many hopes and memories That within our hearts entwine VVith our Alma Mater Lewis, Sentiments we can't define? But now that we are leaving We just can't help but think Of the laughter, fun, and friendship That we have come to link To the faithful time-worn building With a spirit all its own - The school we worked and played for Aiding us as we have grown. r Yes, there was a lot of griping, And oh how we did worry About teachers, tests, and finals, And we always tried to scurry Faster each succeeding day Down the hill that tired us so. But something always drew us To that place weld come to know. We've had a lot of fun there And many thanks we owe To faculty, friends, and helpers Who made the memory grow. And may that memory never fade We know it never will. So we bid goodbye with a tearful eye To the 'clnstitution on the Hill. JOAN WENDT 22
