Senior's Resolution The summit is farther on the way, And glory but a sunbeam soon to stray. Still we must struggle till the day is gone And look across the purple hills to dawn. Be faithful to our work, respect its call, And find it not too great nor yet too small. Each task a blessing and for us the best; We’ll do it well and leave to God the rest. Goodbye . . . We haven’t many honors of our own. We’re just an ordinary class, I guess. Endowed with perseverance as we’ve shown. And other varied virtues, more or less. One quality alone we boast today. It is our loyalty to school and friends. And that will last, though skys be bright or gray, Until the school life for each one ends. So here’s to us, grave seniors, and our class which is no more. We hope authorities won’t weep, our absence to deplore. And here’s to us, grave seniors, and to dear old Tigard High. A sadness dims our gladness as we pause to say, “Good bye.” craduate What elders called in days gone by, “A learned graduate” am 1, And here, a suit case in my hand— It suits the case, you understand— I’m waiting for a passport signed And stamped and sealed and underlined By all the faculty, who know Full well if I’m prepared to go A-traveling on Life’s highway Far from the scenes of yesterday Each sunny hour I long to seize; So may I have my diploma, please? SCHOOL CLERK Because so long and faithfully You have endeavored, we agree Reward awaits you; work well done Has always recognition won, So we deliver, sealed and signed This diploma of an educated mind ’Tis your diploma, guard with care, ’Twill be your passport everywhere, And gain admission, any day Where wit and wisdom hold their sway. If to counsel you will adhere, You'll find the skies for you are clear, That folks are friends when understood That work is joy and life is good.” T wenty-three
