How do we love thee? Let us count the ways. We love thee to the depth and breadth and height of the gym. We love thee to the routine of everyday's most quiet classes. We love thy students, teachers, and all others. We love thee for thy centurydold shades in Mr. CVl,ark's room. Q We love thee with a passion stirred by thy band practicing in the gym. ff We love thee for thy little, cluttered annual. We love thee for thy candlelight in the commercial room. We love thee for thy failing and low lists fwhen we are not on itj. We love thee for thy brightly-colored walls. We love thee for thy empty halls between classes. We love thee for thy clocks that all have the same time. We love thee for thy adding machine in the outer office. We love thee for thy three big mirrors in the girls' locker room. We love thee for thy intelligent students that roam the halls. We love thee for thy romances budding in the halls. We love thee for thy custom-made seats in the auditorium.
