Perhaps it ' s down stairs that you lightly would trip. Three steps at a time, and the final long dip ; But there at the foot you receive just a sign, You return to the top, to descend, one step at a time. Or perhaps it is up. three or four packed abreast. You are passing with many a joke and a jest ; At the top you are met with a quizzical smile. And you return to the bottom, to come up single file. One day, you remember, you loitered around. The bell had stopped ringing, and the gong would soon sound ; To avoid being tardy you took a big hike Across the green campus, there was no one in sight. And then you recall how dead beat you did feel When you were frankly reminded ' twas not a square deal; And your steps you retraced quite sad and alone, To reach the old School House by a path made of stone. In class, I can tell you. he just makes things hum ; No lessons come there that are much on the bum. Your eyes are wide open, and attention you pay. You mind your p ' s and q ' s that period each da v. Irder is his motto and order ' s what he ' s got; There ' s not the least distinction, whether high or low your lot. School was made for work, he says, and never was for play; You ' ve got to keep a hustling if in life you ' d make your way. Oh. he ' s a man of business and he can fill the bill : We ' ve never had one like him. and I guess we never will. So we ' ll just keep him on, forever and a day, As long as we ' re in High School and he ' ll consent to stay. The man who ' s next in power is Weldy, Mr. John, And he ' s a hummer, too, to teach you right from wrong. Of course he ' s cross and crabbed, that ' s the boss ' s right: But he keeps you straight and going with all your main and might. He ' s a man of action with books and tools as well; He ' s furnished all the school house with something- pretty swell. The laboratory ' s splendid with its tables bright and new. And cupboards all divided in sections through and through. In the assembly room you ' ve noticed our cases tall and grand. And in the center, just between them, the nobby little stand For dictionaries numerous, of Webster and his tribe, And magazines and papers and lots of things besides.
