The Poem accompanied a poster that listed everyone included in our  website "In Memory" section.  If you are aware of classmated that are not listed please forward their name.

WE ARE ONE - by Shirley Saltzman

FROM BAGLEY, HAMPTON, MacDOWELL, PASTEUR, SCHULZE AND OTHERS

WE CAME TOGETHER

AS ONE REMARKABLE ENTITY,

MUMFORD HIGH SCHOOL,

CLASS OF 1961.

WE WERE SCARED, WE WERE SHY,

WE WERE BOLD, WE WERE BRAVE.

WE WERE ATHLETIC, WE WERE ARTISTIC,

WE WERE CREATIVE, WE EXCELLED,

WE STRUGGLED AND YES, WE EVEN FAILED.

WE WERE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER,

AND YET, WE WERE ONE.

WE WERE DETERMINED, WE WERE RESILIENT,

WE HAD GRIT, WE HAD GUTS

AND WE GRADUATED.

WE WERE SO LUCKY.

WE ARE HERE TODAY, DECADES LATER, REMEMBERING

OUR FRIENDS, OUR CONFIDANTS, OUR BUDDIES,

THE CLASSMATES WE HAVE LOVED AND LOST.

WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU.

WE WILL TREASURE THE MEMORIES OF

YOUR WARMTH, YOUR WISDOM

AND ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDSHIP.

YOUR NAMES WILL FOREVER RESONATE IN OUR HEARTS.

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A BELOVED PART

OF MUMFORD HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1961.

WE ARE ONE.

WE WILL ALWAYS BE ONE!
