But I compare it to a book That's written page by page. Ourselves ore like the pencil; Our deeds make up the words; The paper is our span of life Showing our deeds unfurled. Page one reveals our first breath; The last page says, Now dead. And in between are all the things On earth we did and said. Our Laurel is a portion Of what's within Our Life Joys and triumphs and memories We share from our school life. So that no one will forget We make this monument Of happy days of by-gone years That were in L. V. spent. Sylvia Cummings Class of 1958 25
