Jim glddd nf Zf7 Uur days in school are numbered And as the years flew past Very shortly we'll depart We struggled day by day And as this day grows nearer Learning to fight the evils There's sadness in our heart. That might yet come our way. 'Twas just twelve years ago To gain iust an education We entered, a noisy mass- Was never meant to be But like a beautiful picture We must learn something higher We've blended to form a class. To keep our nation free. We were taught by our teachers For we're the ones who must learn We thank them for all they've done As the path of life we trod, liut they seek no earthly praise That peace with fellow men They've done this for His Son. Comes only from our Cod. Now we must leave dear Saint Pat's ln the year of g'47', So all of those who follow us May know the road to heaven. JosEPH REILLY Klan 50114 fTunej fThe Things We Did Last Summerl Oh the class bell as it rang The students as they sang They'll all be stored away with memories. The joys we've had together We'll remember all of our lives. To think we have to go Makes our heart beat slow. And to some it may bring tears But to us this day Who smile our cares away It has been twelve joyous years. Now the time to part is near From the school we hold so dear From our beloved Saint Patrick's I-lighg But the joys we've had together We'll remember all of our lives. Jossvn R1-:iL1.Y
