H 01419 .AQ Z8 OSQAOOZ ECLW 77 fTune: Beautiful Dreamerj Gone are the school days, We all loved so Now we are parting And we hate to go. The curtains are closing On our youthful past And we can't believe that Those days went so fast. Days that were happy Some moments were sad But we'll all miss them The best days we had. Now its all over But memories are here Of wonderful friendships That will remain dear. CLASS FLOWER Red Carnation CLASS COLORS Blue and Silver 19
