Now 3a Ohe Oime (Tune Now Is The Hour”) First verse: Stonewall High we love you best, Hours with you are growing less; As we leave with hearts of sorrow, Only to return some glad tomorrow. Chorus: Now is the time When we must say good-bye; Soon we ' ll be leaving Dear old Stonewall High; As we depart and journey on our way, We leave the thought of us with you on this day Second Verse: The time has come to say good-bye But in your walls our memories lie, Stonewall High we’ll miss you so But time is here that we must go. Chorus (repeat). Betty Carper Betty Trenary (26)

Commencement was in the near future. We take renewed hope for we must not fail now. So much depends on it. Our parents and our teach¬ ers have high hopes in us. We must not let them down.” We have been a noisy class and we have made our mistakes but through it all we have tried to keep our goals high. We are proud of our school. May she always stand high because of those who have entered her doors and found learning. We hope that our class has had a part in making this come true for we arc the Class of ’48. Class Historian James Crim 7jhanlc3 As our childhood work is over, And we go to face the world, We want to thank our loyal friends Who’ve helped us reach this goal. First, we wish to thank our parents Who’ve been so kind and dear. They’ve helped with our lessons As we’ve grown through the years. Our principal was always kind And led us in each game. He taught us to be good sports In failing or in fame. To all our friendly teachers We give our thanks next. They taught us how to read and write The way they knew was best. Our undergraduates we want to thank For many a glorious day. We’ve had our ups and downs But, “That is life,” they say. Each fellowclassmate we wish to thank For friendship through the years. Our school life has been a happy time With memories we shall hold most dear. To many we’ve given thanks for help In all the days gone by But now we wish to give Our dearest thanks to “Stonewall High.” Class Poet Stella DeHaven (25)
