Class Poem
FORWARD
School is work, and school is play
Graduation is not its goal,
For in the school of life we work
and play
To develop the body, mind and
soul. *
- all, are we,
M nthis school from day to day,
The lessons learned are stepping
stones
To higher heights on life’s busy
way.
For seven long years ]
We’ve struggled onward, for
this night
Mixing laughter with our tears,
Braving sun and rain to do the
right.
Friendships dear, we have made
More precious are they, than
gold
Ever resplendent on memory’s
page
Rarest of life’s treasures we
hold.
But, tonight, we stand,
As comrades at the parting of
the ways
To the future, pledging hearts and
hands
For nobler lives and better
days.
Approximately one driver out of
every eight licensed to drive in
Georgia killed or injured during
the past thirty-six month period.

vision ahead.
