CLASS POEM Our High School days were bright and cheery, Never a day was dark and dreary , Their joys our memories will hold fast , W hen our youthful hopes may feel Life ' s blast , For they were gay not dreary. Our hearts are sad, and lone and weary, Behind are the days that were never dreary , Our thoughts still cling to the school days past , And though we knew they must end at last , Today we ' re lone and dreary. Be still , sad hearts ! and cease repining; Life ' s brightest lights ahead are shining; Hope is not dead with the old school days, We leave to take Life ' s higher ways, For life is bright , net dreary. Cresence Wilson . With apologies to Henry W. Longfellow.
