On Wednesday, May 21, Flomaton High School seniors, dressed in the graduation robes and hats, gathered in Hurricane stadium to pose for one final picture with their classmates.  Following the picture, however, the seniors began a walk down memory lane.  Beginning at Flomaton Elementary, the seniors walked the halls while the elementary students observed and cheered.  As they walked, seniors sang the words of Flomaton High School's alma mater.  Watching the seniors pass through the halls must have been a special time for the children, too.  In fact, each senior gave a kindergarten student a special gift, an inspirational children's book with a personalized note written inside. 

     As the students left Flomaton Elementary School, they also walked through the halls of Flomaton High School, beginning in the same area they took classes back in seventh grade.  At the high school, students also lined the walls of the hallways to pay tribute to this year's graduating class.  The Senior Walk is a proud tradition at Flomaton and encourages underclassmen to strive to succeed in school.  Echos of the alma mater still ring:

Our Alma Mater, we will not falter

To love thy honor and sing thy praise.

Thy years of teaching to us beseeching,

To be true in all we do

Through all our days.

The years we’ve been here,

Are years we hold dear.

They make us feel near,

Although we part.

As years roll by

Thou will be nigh.

We always will

Love thee still

Within our hearts.

Although we’re leaving,

Our hearts are grieving.

Our thoughts are weaving,

Sweet dreams of you.

When trials beset us,

Please don’t forget us

So we part, with fond heart,

And sad adieu.
