GRADUATION DAY It’s a time for joy, A time for tears, A time we’ll remember through the years We’ll remember always—Graduation Day! Though we leave in sorrow All the joys we’ve known We can face tomorrow— Knowing we’ll never walk alone! Tire ivied walls are far behind, But no matter where our paths may wind, We’ll remember always—Graduation Day! THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1970 56 ✓
