PRAYER

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Graduation's not too far,
Make my teachers let me pass
Yes! Even in the History class!

Look down here, on planet Earth
Tell me what you think I'm worth.
With rings, pictures, dues and all
Let some money to me fall.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
I don't want to pass the "Bar";
With Marlon Brando I want no date,
All that I ask is: To graduate.

NEVER MORE

No more to roam the marbled halls
Within her close confining walls
And hear the shouts of students fly
As one by one they pass you by-
Quote We Seniors, Never More.

No more to hear the eternal chime
Of the bells that will ring to the end of time
Which ushers a voice of comfort and ease
And heralds the word, "Attention please!"
Quote We Seniors, Never More.

No more to glide through the locker doors
And summon your strength with a final pause
And dodge and strain with all your might
Sneakers which fly at the speed of light-
Quote We Seniors, Never More.

No more to enter the spacious hall
Where students fight and scratch and maul
To break the line with tricks so shrewd
In attempts to get Lane's "famous food"-
Quote We Seniors, Never More.

No more to end our day at three
With familiar shouts of "at last we're free!"
Yet though we poke fun at Lane, above,
It shall always be the school we love-
Quote We Seniors, evermore.
