A Change
With every word that’s spoken here
today
Time slips by quickly, and is seen
no more;
For seme it is the start of a new
way.
The Ragsdale Senior Class of Sixty-
four.
We look back at the years that
have gone by.
We hold within our hearts these
memories dear,
The good beside the bad they seem
to lie.
Each one remembered when they
happened here.
Now graduation time demands our
thoughts,
One goal we each have set almost
attained.
.^nd with it all our future plans
are brought,
A guide to future goals that we
have named.
As Seniors we are reaching a new
age.
Still players, only a different stage.
