VVe've spent four years in labor hard to prove the fact once more That life is quite confused, and two and two are seldom four. We're crammed to the brain with learning, and now we must turn it to use, And if one of us is a failure, he hasn't a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk the better results we shall get, For we've had four years of trainingg it may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should We're proud of Tigard High Schoolg its done us a lot of good. 21
