Class Poem Dear Class of 1948, Our hearts to thee are bound Strong with the cords of golden love That all our lives surround. Onward and upward This our motto brave, As ever on and up we strive These words our way will pave. The years ahead we cannot know The way is long 'twould seem Onward and upward, Of great things we will dream. Dear God, and may we keep these dreams Great deeds also achieve, Thy guiding hand be with us while We work, and love, and live. Class Song Tune: O Sole Mio We hate to leave you, students of our high schoolg We must be leaving for we are needed. Our fame and hopes depend on moments We spent with you in our high school days. Chorus We love our dear school, our love we give, Our senior spirit is brave and true, We pledge our hearts and hopes to live And labor, our whole lives through. The world is waiting for us ourside: We will be facing our fortune wideg The dear old school that we are leaving It is the school we love, the Vernon High.
