THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 31 ( LASS SONGS Tune: “As Time Goes By” We’re gathered here to tell You all a sad farewell. Dear friends and pals so true, We’re going to miss our old school days, As time goes by. We all must say goodbye And keep our chins held high, Because we’ve had such fun We’ll all remember our school days, As time goes by. Farewell to studies, books, and class affairs; Farewell to school days, worries, and cares; Farewell to teachers Who guided us through, Our dear old school days. And now we’ll say goodbye, And breathe a little sigh. And hope we’ll meet again, And wish good luck to our dear old friends. As time goes by. Genevieve Ginocchio, ’43. Tune: “There Are Such Things” Dear Classmates true, We’re here tonight To bid adieu And take our flight, We’ve had our fun in our school days, But now it’s o’er And we’ve a job to do to even the score. To our dear friends and teachers, too, We wish the best of luck to you. We’ve had our troubles, trials and cares, But now we take our leave, The dear old Class cf Nineteen Forty-three. Teresa Therrien, ’43.

30 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Also a new educational syste m must be set up. Languages, math¬ ematics, history, and sciences must be taught for the sake of true educa¬ tion, and not to extol the doctrines of some dictator. A well-informed, well-educated country in which every person has the right to decide af¬ fairs for himself can never come under the rule of a leader with such radical ideas as Adolph Hitler. Because many people in Germany were uneducated, he was able to win them over by flowery words and pompous speeches. We must never allow this to happen again. Finally, we must teach these people to know the worthwhile things of life. They must be made to love freedom, appreciate education, and above all love God and His doctrine of Christianity. Japan is really a pagan country. Before we can reconcile them to American ways a great deal of missionary work must be done. Their pagan idols must be oblit¬ erated and God must be given his rightful place. A Christian world is a peaceful world. As long as men believe in God and Christianity, justice and truth will conquer all. This is America’s task. Every single person should be willing to make personal sacrifices so that our hopes and our dreams will be accom¬ plished. We must keep working, keep fighting,keep praying for America. America must win the peace and America must keep the peace. Classmates, realize your responsibilities as we graduate into a war- torn world. Shoulder your part of the burden and work diligently for our great nation. If we all have this fine spirit, America is bound to succeed. And now Classmates, we have ccme to the parting of the ways, and so I must bid farewell, and may Almighty God look down upon you and shower you with success in all your undertakings and happiness all through life. John Conley, ’43.
