Class Poem Class Song To the tune of — Don't Stay Away Too Long The years have passed and gone But memories linger on The friends of old, we'll neer forget Our toil we'll neer regret. Through the years we've had such a gay time Trying to broaden our minds. There have been good days and bad days. Oh yes, the memory with us stays No matter where we roam No matter what we do, our home wi II be dear White Plains Hi I Graduation day is here And parting now is near We say goodbye to you, our friends We'll ere to you be true I Now we're leaving White Plains High The time has come to say good-bye But the memories linger on Though our high school days are gone. If our hearts are filled with woe As from White Plains High we go With this thought we are consoled We have our education, worth more to us than gold. For us the days of learning Aren't ended, not at all For if we think we've learned it all Our time has come to fall Though years from now, we all will be Scattered far and wide As we look back toward White Plains High Our hearts will fill with pride. With tearful eye and saddened heart With old friends and teachers we now must part This doen't mean we part forever In our thoughts we'll be together. Through happiness, sorrow, and strife Not merely to exist, but to amount to something in life. SYBIL S.
