2017 GRADUATION

TUESDAY, MAY 23, 2017

CONGRATULATIONS ON A JOB WELL DONE! Another graduation is upon us! How does it sneak up so quickly?

In putting together this special issue of the Landrum High School Graduation Edition, we’re reminded of how special a time this is for graduates who are filled with hope and excitement for summer and their future; for their parents who feel relief now that one big hurdle has been jumped, pride in their son or

daughter’s accomplishment, and worry now that their child will launch into a world of unknowns; and for the community of Landrum who see their sons, daughters and friends leaving for bigger and better, out in a great big world, away from the Cardinals’ nest.

From the Bulletin family to the graduates of Landrum High School and their families, we wish all Godspeed and extend a heartfelt

“Good Luck!” on all your future endeavors.

And as Dr. Seuss famously said, “Oh, the places you’ll go!” Please keep in touch with your hometown paper and let us know what you’re up to!

LANDRUM ALMA MATER

Landrum High School Graduation Tuesday, May 23, 2017 in the Main Gym, 6 p.m.

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Guardian of our days, For thy spirit never failing We would sing thy praise.

In thy mighty grove of learning, Wisdom’s paths were sought.

High upon the lofty hilltop Visions have been wrought.

Lo! She stands, our Alma Mater Proudly sing all hail.

Far and near her glory dear, Claims the coming year.

Loud we sing in loyalty Of Landrum ever dear, Shout her praises; fling her banners--- Dear Old Landrum High.
