CLASS SONG.
After several weeks of untiring effort our class song has been finished by its composers, Margaret Candler and Alice Harrison. We are really proud of this composition because it is our own, and it was written by members of our class. The words for the song, written by Nancy Parham, are as follows. they speak for themselves: First Verse:
Oh, Seniors let us join in chorus For we're the happiest class alive!
Let us sing the joyful praises Of the Class of '35,
We'll look back in the fond tomorrow On the days spent together here:
There's been a joy for every sorrow And a smile for every tear.
Second Verse
As classmates we've lived our lives together,
And, all too soon, these days must end:
We must leave our Alma Mater,
Our beloved and cherished friend.
As the time draws near for our parting
Let's make the goal for which we strive
Successful, virtuous, happy lives-
For the class of '35.
Chorus
We'll always love our Alma Mater
And ever praise her name:
With her we leave our burning hope
For glory, honor, fame
