Class Memories Motto 'Small in Number, but, Mighty in Strength ' Colors Grey and Rose 1 Flower Rose eff Song 'I'll Be Seeing You' 'FORWARD FOREVERW When graduation night 18 done, Off into the world we will go, Our ability and ambition will highly show No matter the road that WP'l1 each take, It was left to us the declsion to make We won't sit down to take a rest, Until we've shown our very best We tried to help out every where, And hope that we have done our share You don't need that magic touch, As its 'how well' and not Whow much W We stuck together side by side, Although the journey was no smooth ride The teacher's were all certainly grand We'll always adm1re the1r helplng hand Now that we have come to our Journey's end, Our life else where we will spend We lived with each other thorugh the years And now we part with a smile or tears The joys of school will fill our heart As no from here we shall deoart Our voices no more w1ll fill the hall But this is the school we love best of all Barbara Gorodenski x Baccalaureate May 20 Graduatlon May Zh .J 1-W 3 ' .
