"MONTE VISTA H.S.CLASS OF 1964"

We are of the happy class of 1964

We're proud and always cared

That we've grown up knowing more

Allowing our sweet memories be shared.

We'll never forget those who have passed away

To die deep within our aching hearts

For their friends and families every day

Knowing they're in our memories to never depart.

We go through our lives building treasures

And feeling emotions that are often strong

Enjoying God's special pleasures

Knowing where we will always belong.

We come from different walks of life

Learning what we can, as we found new friends

We traveled on many paths sometimes feeling strife

We tried to never allow ourselves to follow the many trends.

We are coming together as classmates from a mighty school

To reminisce and to meet one another again happily

Knowing we tried to obey all of the teacher's rules

And feeling deeply that we have found a new family.

Life goes on as it always has in the past

Helping us to learn all that we need

Traveling on life's journey sometimes very fast

But it really wasn’t necessary indeed.

We have felt a special bond throughout the years

Getting excited to renew our good ol days

Often finding our eyes fill with happy tears

Remembering all we knew in special ways.

Let us come together and do all we could

To make our classmates feel wanted and loved

Enjoying the best of times knowing we would

Never feeling as if we were neglected or shoved.

Lord, grant our smallest wish for this time to bring us joy

Filled with a lot of laughter when we chat with one another

Being thankful to thee for all we have to employ

Being happy you are all of us elder brother.

Monte Vista High School is our Alma Mater this we know

We’ve enjoyed being apart of its curricular activities they had

Being so happy others saw how our faces would glow

When we shouted out our school song feeling happy not sad.

We are the mighty Monarchs strong and proud

Being the very best class we honor our teams

Who played to win as we stood out in a crowd?

Cheering them on as they fulfilled their dreams.

We changed our school clap one year

To the song, "Let's Go" feeling the thrill

As we watched the game go on eyes filling with tears

As the players gave their hearts at will.

Our team players did their very best

To make sure the game was going well

Feeling joy as they finished passing every test

Letting us have a story of winning to tell.

We thank all of you for planning this day for all of us

To bring those from our class here as friends

Making sure things would go, as they must

Making rules we will not others offend.

Have a happy time and always bring good food

For all of us to began a memory with pictures galore

Putting it on the table for us create a happy mood

For all who attend we shall remember others we adored.
