Class Pastor: Jack Slade



You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You get what you need......




Remember,
now that we are older....we are CLASSIC PATRIOTS!


May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
And may you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
And may you stay forever young.

.......'Forever Young', Bob Dylan
