JEAN WEATHERBY Oh, here’s to you, dear Waynesville High, The time we part is drawing nigh, You’ve guided us through four short years. Known all our troubles, joys, and fears. But dear old school, before we go To you our love zve’d like to show. You’ve tried your best; you’ve done your part, To make us true and strong of heart. But noiv t’s up to one and all T 0 answer to life’s eager call, To make you proud to call us thine. And walk through -life upright and fine. We’ll miss the fellowship and fun, ' The mutual thoughts that made us one, ' The laughter, sports, and classmates too, .4nd all our teachers, tried and true. Oh, yes, we’ll miss them, miss them so. As from their loving care we go. U e have a job, and that’s to build .4 better world in zvhich to live. Oh, may we build it strong and firm. And strive, in living life’s short term, ' To serve, while treading on earth’s sod Our school, our country, and our God. —Margaret James
