f gflflcmnrzes Today as we gazed into the past And let our thoughts take their flight, Memories that ne'er shall be forgotten Swam into our sight. Since the day we entered high school To walk along an unknown way, We've shared these memories from day to day - The joy, the sorrow, the laughter, the tears - All these dear Wentworth you've given us through the years. We've had some happy times, we twog We'll have some more before we're throughg We've memories of things We've learned and done And days of carefree, gladsome fun. X K Th X ,c f X You've helped us grow to maturity And watched us sedately graduateg To us you were a sentinel of security. You saw us at life's threshold hesitate, And as our memories blend into a beautiful sonata Farewell to you, our Alma Mater. Judy Adkins - Betty Jane Yeatts Class Poets 6 f I N?
