From the 1970 reunion program
Donated by Joanne Krause
FIFTY YEARS
Fifty years seems a long,
long time when
Each phase of your life
brought it’s joy and
MAY THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS
BE THE BEST!
Class Motto:
“Forward”
Cover from the Class of 1920,
Rice Lake High School's 50 Year Reunion Program
by Ethel Bates
You’re looking ahead,
but it’s not.
When you’re busy and happy
the years go by
And you wonder where
they have gone.
The old school’s torn down,
where we worked
And we played, but
the memories linger still
Of the friends we had then
and the teachers, too,
And our struggles
to make good grades.
We may have forgotten the
high hopes we had
and our plans to
conquer the world.
But isn’t it nice to look
back from here and
Remember the good
things we’ve known?
There were troubles, I’m
sure, in all of our
Lives but we managed
to come out on top, and
As we look back they have
shrunk in their size
And were not as bad
as we thought,
Sorrow has come to many,
I know, and loved ones
Gone from your lives.
But the memories you have
are precious and dear
And still have a
place in your heart.
It’s tears –
