T.H.S. Graduates 25th Class Mr $hep Cutler tokes orders for senior groduotion announcements A time for joy ... o time for tears . . . A memory we'll cherish through the years. The seniors walk down Memorial's oisles; They hold bock tears and attempt bright smiles. Upon the stage they're seated now; At the sound of his name, each tokes o bow. Quiet now - - the Valedictorian speaks. She clears her throat, but her voice still squeaks. She speaks of the future - - the next big stride; The fears in her eyes she is trying to hide. She mentions success which some will achieve, But thinks of friends she soon will leave The Salutatorian speaks of four years gone by; Homework and Proms she recalls with o sigh She's finished now; her speech was fine. She soid it perfectly, forgot not a line. A hundred and eighty-seven seniors now rise, With smiling foces and tear-stained eyes. They receive with pleasure their diplomas long- awaited. And hear a voice soy, ''Class of 1961, you are now graduated Each offers to God a quiet, short prayer. Thanking Him humbly for all of His care. They walk off the stage, feeling many yeors older, Each needing the support of his best friend's shoulder. Open-houses of friends they now attend, Each hoting to see this senior year end. - - Suzanne Rhoads 23 Joel Firme ond Terry Polmotcer ossist David Bikoff os he fries on his graduation gown.
