“In Later Years We’ll Still Love and Bless Thee…”

As we have, and do!  Who could guess some of us would live to see a remarkable class reunion in 2015.  This building holds so much for all of us, as well as for  those who preceded and followed us in walking through its halls.  This building is much more dear to me than the new, and now demolished, old, new, high school .

DSC06693 Our ideals were as lofty as those expressed in this Alma Mater.  How often its phrases have crossed over my mind, and how true it is that “In later years, we’ll still love and bless thee when in the great world’s strife.”  I hold all of these experiences in my memory’s sacred place.  (From the 2010 Reunion packet.)
