Never look behind, class, Up and on the way; Time enough for that, class. On some future day. Though the way be long, class. Fight it with a will; Never stop to look behind ’’hen climbing up a hill Trudge is a slow horse, friends, Made to pull a load. But in the end will give the dust To racers on the road. When you’re near the top, class. Of the rugged way. Do not stop to blow your horn. But climb, climb away Shoot above the crowd, class, Brace yourselves and go] Let the slower people, class Hoe the easy row. Success is at the top, friends. Waiting there until The Senior Class of 37 Has mounted up the hill -Ethel Mae Baldner ©
