It may be six or seven years, or twenty-one or three. But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief. You’ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.” “I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over and in my search for teachers true. And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain. Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again?” “I fancied that I heard them say: “Dear Lord, Thy will be done.” For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may And for the happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay. But shall the angels call him much sooner than we've planned. We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.” 16 HIGH HONORS Carol Hill Beth Krznarich Lori Hocking HONORS Sandra Ahonen Paula Danielson Heidi Johns Lisa Jarvinen CLASS MOTTO CLASS COLORS CLASS FLOWER CLASS SONG To accomplish great things we must not only dream, but also act; not only plan, but also believe.

IT’S TIME FOR MOVIN’ ON We’ve traveled a long, long time together, And there have been a lot of good things on the way. But now, it’s almost time for leavin’; And the things I feel inside are very hard to say. But it’s time for movin’ on my friend; hold back all the tears and sorrow, It fin’ly is time to go our separate ways. And I want to wish you well, my friend, As we search for new tomorrows. Go as you must, but, please, Don’t forget the yesterdays. Remember the dreams we dreamed together, All of the joys we shared in getting to today. Now, just one time before you leave me, Reach out and take my hand and help me walk away. It’s time for movin’ on. Don’t forget the yesterdays. PATRONS WAKEFIELD Ahonen Oil Co.
