CLASS POEM We have come to the end of our High School Days And pausing with a tender thought, We think of all the benefits That to us our school has brought. Memories pleasant we'll always have, Of the twelve short years just past, Though now to us the future calls, We'll remember them to the last. Friends we've gained here will not forsake Future pathways they will cheer And both in joy and sorrow .too Comfort us throughout each year. And now to us the great world calls All our dreams to realize, Higher our work we'll still pursue For success in the future lies. We are starting life anew Our work has just begun And so while striving to do our best. “We'll find a way or make one.” LILLIAN SPEAS, Poet Motto We Will Find A Way Or Make One.” MassliW@alons @lossiElowen Blue and White Red Rose
