CLASS POEMS AFTER THOUGHTS I As graduation comes around We Seniors say good-bye To the school we love so deari Which is St. Marys Hi. Our school days now are over As you already know. We say so long to the teachers And on our Way we go. We hope you underclassmen Will do as you are told. Work for St. Marys High School, And the Purple and the Gold. Now we leave behind us All of our jokes and tricks. This is indeed a sad farewell For the class of 46 . II We, the Class ot '46, Through the tour years of High Worked our way to the top To see our banners fly. With faith, hope and courage We fought hard to hold Our colors and titles And honors of old. And after we graduate We'll look back some day And remember our friends And the pleasures so gay. And now, one last thing We would like to express- To wish you all luck For your future success. W. W
