GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS OF
1965
George
Washington High School, Class of 1965
Where brains, imagination, and
creativity did thrive.
Now again together, with much happiness
and cheers,
Recounting cherished memories, after
passing 40 years.
We would be remiss indeed, if we did not
take the time,
To record our 40th Reunion with a nice
and memorable rhyme.
So sit back and enjoy, for better or for
worse,
For your listening pleasure, we have
penned this little verse.
We parted after graduation, and went our
separate ways,
We each have had our highs and lows, our
sad and happy days.
But one bond shall always join us, it is
even present yet so gentle.
Our common bond will always be our time
at George Washington.
Were those days really so long ago,
maybe it's just a dream,
Maybe we're still in High School,
rooting for the football team,
And studying for that math test,
planning for the Prom,
And avoiding even more trouble with our
teachers, Dad and Mom.
Those days will live forever, in our
thoughts and in our minds,
George Washington High School will
always be the tie that binds.
As we all enjoyed the last Reunion,
looked around, what did we see,
Is it not amazing, everybody changed but
me!
Though time could have been kinder, I
still have lots of power,
Although what used to take some minutes
few, not takes at least an hour!
We won't get any older, because we all
will do our part,
To remain youthful in our spirit, and
young in mind and heart.
We must definitely remember, this one
ever present fact.
It is not how old we feel, but just how
old we act!
We do know how to party, no one has more
fun,
Our G. W. Class of '65 will always be
Number 1!
So seize the day, enjoy good cheer, we
will jam and we will jive,
And, for sure, we'll all return for
Reunion 45!
