1966 Senior Class Song

Here on our graduation day
We long within our hearts to say
That with our minds, and with our souls
WE shall strive to reach life's goals.

Chorus:
For we go forth not to exist but to live,
For we go forth,
For we go forth,
Not to exist, but live.

Glory and pride have led us here.
Our hearts shed tears of joy and fear,
But we shall hold our heads up high,
Seeking life's message from the sky.

Graduation Day


- Joe Sherman / Noel Sherman, 1956

(Beach Boys version recorded 05/05/65)


There's a time a for joy
A time for tears
A time we'll treasure through the years
We'll remember always
Graduation day

At the senior prom
We danced 'til three
And there you gave your heart to me
We'll remember always
Graduation day

Though we leave in sorrow
All the joys we've known
We can face tomorrow
Knowing we'll never walk alone
When the ivy walls
Are far behind
No matter where our paths may wind
We'll remember always
Graduation day
We'll remember always
Graduation day
