When we graduated in 1959

    Life lay before us,
    There was so much to do.
    The world was ours to conquer and explore
    When we left Walnut Hills' door.

    There were jobs to be found
    Further education to be had,
    And someday becoming Moms and Dads.
    Some chose to travel many miles away
    For others, this was the place to stay.

    Some may have accomplished
    Most of the things they had planned
    And think life has been just grand.
    While in other lives
    Many changes had to be made,
    We had to make lots of adjustments
    Along life’s way.

    No matter what
    When we gather once more,
    I’m sure we’ll be glad
    We’ve made it this far.
    But as we read here of the classmates we knew
    We will also learn we are short a few.

    Some have departed this life along the way
    And will be absent from our Reunion day.
    Now as they are listed here,
    Some will remember things
    That they did or said.
    Faces will become vivid once more
    Though they won't come thru the Reunion door.

    So let us live our lives
    Mindful of the things we say and do,
    For the next one missing
    Might be me or you.
