JANUS The star of high school slips behind A mist of yesterdays; Our class divides in many «roups To go their separate ways. The curtain falls—and memory’s gold Is all that we may claim. But tho we leave you. dear West High. We’ll ever praise thy name. When thru your doors we shyly stepped We knew not what would be Across the threshold of the years. Within your walls. West High. And now as Seniors grave, we stand To bid our last adieus. We ask that you will not forget The Class that you must lose. We did our best in every field. Supported every game. And when our bodies were not there. Our hearts were, just the same. But. when our Class must hasten on To where the great world calls. We ever will recall the days That passed within your halls. And tho new faces flood the school We know that you will thrive, Altho you've lost our boosting class of Janus '25. —Esther Kifr.
