  1. We'll All Do Great
    Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011


    Graduation,
    Means so much,
    In different ways,
    To each of us.

    I feel as if,
    A door is closing,
    But I know,
    Another will open.

    Fear to me,
    Is not quite knowing,
    What's in store for,
    My new showing.

    I do know something,
    About us all.
    We'll all do great,
    We will not fall.

    Wishes I send to you that
    Success you will find in all you do!

  3. Ode
    Poet:  Dorothy Whiston


    How wrong are they who say that life is short;
    They limit it with days and months and years.
    How much of all life's fullness do they miss
    Fretted away in idleness and tears!

    Always searching, always learning something new.
    Different ways of doing ancient tasks,
    Striving patiently to see the other's view
    True beauty and perfection life unmasks.

    The world lies waiting for youth's freshning touch
    In richest promise lastingly endowed,
    And we step forth to make the promise true,
    To face the future with our strength unbowed.

  10. Winds Of Change
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2021


    Graduation brings winds of change
    May your coming day bring lots of sun.
    Though our days here now come to an end,
    May our friendship remain after all is said and done.

    A new chapter is about to begin
    Thankfully we've mastered our studies
    Our education enables us to reach new heights,
    But no matter what may we always be buddies.



  11. Reached The Time
    Author M.E.H.


    We have reached the time when we must fully realize
    we are to depart from our high school and leave our fellow-classmates.
    Graduation, which seemed never within our destiny,
    is one of the most important milestones of our lives.

    Our striving toward success,
    however, does not end at graduation,
    for we have a future yet to face.

    We have been greatly helped in
    our preparation for the future by the understanding teachers who
    have patiently guided us during our school days and
    given us confidence that we can succeed and
    to our devoted parents who have given us their
    unending affection and encouragement.

    This introduction to life given by our high school
    enables us to be better citizens



  12. Farewell
    Poet: Margaret Schwerman


    Tell us not that we must leave you
    Tell us not to say farewell,
    For the spirit of all mortals
    Shudders at the thought -farewell
    Friendship fain would prompt the handclasp
    Friendship banish all regret,
    We’ll not forget.

    Four long years we have been gleaning
    Knowledge at this fountain well
    All too swift these years are passing
    Time has come to say farewell.
    Here we pause and heavy hearted
    (For the clouds o’er cast the sky)
    “Dear old school we’ll always love you
    Though we now must say good-by.”

    Should our paths in life be rugged
    Should they pull against the stream
    On that pathway then the lessons
    Of our school will surely gleam, we’ll fondly cherish
    Lessons you have taught so well
    And with whispered fond “God bless you”
    We say farewell.

  14. Studies Paid Off
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Your studies have paid off, my friend,
    Graduation wishes I do send.
    May the knowledge you learn be your guide,
    And, always remember these years with pride.

    The memories we made, forever they'll stay,
    We will remember this day when we're old and gray!
    Friend, may your future be wondrous and bright,
    Congratulations, you're a success this graduation night!
