The Hills of Tomorrow
And so
As valedictorian of the class
Of 1955
I choose now to acknowledge
The debt I owe all of you
And most importantly
The debt I owe my generously talented friend and classmate
Charles Kringas
With whom I wrote the commencement song you are about to hear
My final thought is a simple but mighty thought
It is the obligation we have been given
It is to not turn out the same
It is to grow
To accomplish
To change the world
Behold the hills of tomorrow
Behold the limitless sky
Fling wide the gates
To a world that waits
As our journey starts
Behold! Our hearts
Are high
Behold the hills of tomorrow
Our skies more beautiful still
Behold begin!
There are worlds to win
May we come to trust
The dreams we must
Fulfill
