Words and music by Cleora X. Haney.i
Win saddened hearts we are gathered
10 night, a youthful band,
For one last word with our classmates,
one farewell clasp of the hand.
And we think of our happy childhood,
And the joyous days of the past;
For their memory dear will never depart
But long we live shall last
We must bid farewell to our schooldays-
How feetly the Years have sped!
Are those days of study over?
Are all of our lessons said?
Yea, an unknown future awaits us;
It's mysteries we may not see;
fet youth is, at most, but half of Gods plan,
The best things still to be.
The days of our youth passing
There is work for us all to do
For the world has need of helpers,
Loyal, courageous and true.
But while fighting life's great battle,
Yet deep in our hearts may there dwell
Fond memories of the days that have passed
Friends, classmates, farewell, farewell.
The teachers are H. d. Mcclellan, princi-
pal, Caroline W. Field, assistant, Ellen d.
Townsend, assistant.
