Y This we found to be very exciting Reading and writing and arithmetic, All was very much to our liking, Though we sometimes met the hickory-stick. We were foolish, sometimes But underneath we were sincere, For now our knowledge shines To brightenieach future year. Secretly, each holds some small memory Much treasured within his heart, To follow through the century While we learn our trade or art. -Dorothy June Toot
