age Twenty enior Class Poem The curtain falls, and thunderous applause Acclaims us for a final act well done. We bow, amid the dazzling gleam of lights 5 As we step forward, joy enfolds each one. But when at last the cheering crowd has left, And we are on the empty stage alone, A sudden poignant pain besets our hearts In realizing what we all have known: That this achievement we have finally reached, Although our best performance, was our lastg Our work together now is at an endg Our happy days upon this stage have passed. We look at one another, loath to leave Our many friends and this familiar scene, We must disband and shall not meet again, That knowledge makes our parting sadness keen. And yet there's something in us eager, too, That urges us to hurry and move on, New stages wait for usg and others, too, Wait here to take our place when we have gone. And so, reluctantly, we say farewell And proudly leave our record on life's page. Each one looks backward to remembered joys And forward, hopeful of a greater stage. MARGARET THOMAS SENIORS
