Pait the ftevieivi+Uf Stand Twelve years ago we started out to get an education: Each year we spent nine months for school and three for our vacation. But even from the very start we pictured with elation The time, the setting, and the place of our own graduation. In grammar school a Senior’s smile would leave us hypnotized: Each freshman picked a senior for his own to idolize. As sophomores it finolly seemed that we were recognized. And then as Juniors all our dreams were almost realized. At last as seniors now we have discovered, in the fall Our team came out as champions the very top of oil: And Homecoming was wonderful, if you will please recall For you feel the best if your team is the one that holds the ball. With winter came the Highlites. and no matter what our age We'll recall the fear ond joking that went on behind the stage. When each new Breeze was given out we studied every page. Seeing who liked who and what was new and just what was the rage. Spring came and went so quickly with so many things to do Like the prom, the play, the banquet—but to end this short review It doesn't quite seem possible, it doesn't quite seem true That our final year is over and our high school days are through. As seniors, to the faculty, we say before we leave We thank you for the many things you’ve helped us to achieve: And to all the underclassmen, we sincerely believe That you will have os much fun as you've helped us to receive. 19
