poem We, the seniors, of Wentworth High, Know too well how time does fly, Since we were small and started to school To learn to live by the Golden Rule. We rose early and hurried each day, And studied hard along the way, Until at last our goal is near, This we realize is our last year. Someday we'll think about our past, The twenty-seven students in our classy We'll remember our happiness and joy, With each girl and each boy. The many friends from which we part, We leave them with a heavy heart, Our departure, we hope, will cause everyone, To remember only the good things we have done We look to our future as a mountain top: Our graduation as just a stop: Where we rest to gather strength, For our adventurous journey of great length. With tear in our eyes we must leave This grand old school, but we believe, That we'll always remember Wentworth High And the fun we had in days gone by. Now with our future goal in view, Wentworth we are proud of you! Hoping that remembering us you may, Be very proud of us someday. Class Poet Carol Walker 15
