FIFTEEN
~ by Laura-Lee RAHN
I see some wrinkles
And gray hairs a-plenty.
The desks where we sat
Are long gone and empty.
Walking the hallways
where Laughter once played,
I remember full rooms
where we learned and prayed.
Down come old walls
making room for the new.
But I still see the pole
where our proud flag once flew.
Some mem'ries have passed.
Some years left unseen.
Yet safe in my heart,
you're forever fifteen.

VCS' mission, to teach children about "all of life under God," continued to draw Vancouver families to the school. And, it was during this era that VCS truly evolved into the multicultural, multidenominational community that it is today. ..."
