SENIOR CLASS Not to progress-is to regress, Not to win is but to tail. Let us strive to be successful As So proudly we all haill Let us strive to hold high honors, And for freedom let us fight. May we never lose our prestige, Honor ever Red and White. Many friendships we all cherish POEM That the past four years have brought. We've been given Faith and Courage From the lessons that were taught. Faith and Courage for the future, Freedom reign for evermore, And we proudly hail to Victory, We, the Class of Forty-tour. -Glenna Waugh
