The Class Song TUNE: — “Auld Lang Syne” From Stonewall High we now depart, Our minds with memories filled ; With all the joyous times we’ve had But now we’ll say adieu. Chorus: Farewell, Farewiell to ole’ Stonewall We have to part from thee. Farewell, Farewell to ole’ Stonewall The school we loved so dear. From dear Stonewall we have to leave As in life’s work we go— With hopes that we will all do well We bid our last farewell. Helen Crim — 29

The Class Poem Lingering memories from out of the past Of our teachers, principal, and those Who’ve helped us to the very last Shall be remembered,, each and all When we think of the halls of old faithful Stonewall. On speedy wings the years have flown Since first we came to Stonewall “Hi” Through which we’ve worked to near our aim Until at last we say “Good-bye.” Marie Boyd — 28 —
