Tribute To NHS By Phyllis Carpenter Where shall I go? What shall I do? These were the questions soon answered by you. In your halls I stood a mere child, And, seeing my innocence, you smiled. As I travelled along lifels rocky road, Often neglecting to follow the code, I noticed that your smile-bright at the start- Crew dim when I stubbornly did not do my part. But the years went, oh, much too swiftly by And as they progress'd, why so did I! So that when graduation day finally came I could face life's decisions without any shame. So though I am leaving your belov'd halls And entering a world of many pitfalls, I 'll always remember your brow crownad with light And you, Alma Mater, will not leave my sight.
