Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never, be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky. -Helen Steiner Rice Class of 1979 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: Jim Crow, Treasurer; Lee Morris, President; Jill Huffman, Sergeant at Arms, Karen Williams, Secretary; Paul Cole, Vice President.
