CLASS POEM When winter is past and springtime has come, When songbirds are happy, and bees start to hum. When the bloom on the fruit tree hears its sweetest bouquet, And the grasses get green in the middle of May, Oh! It's then I’ll go back to the turn in the lane And live over the joys of my school days again! I can see my classmates as they went up the walk That September day—Oh, we sure didn’t balk— To enter the high school—to conquer the world. We started the journey with banners unfurled. Oh, for the joy of that first day again. When we could just sight the turn in the lane. The next year we entered the ranks of the wise, We thought our new building best under the skies. We showed all the rest what our class could do, And won many a place in the high school’s Who’s Who. ’ We kept up our studies, but we had lots of fun. Time passed quickly-—soon our soph'more year was done. As superior juniors we met in our classes, And felt far ahead of the ordinary masses. We entertained the seniors, we gave a class play. Oh. we grew more important day by day. But to our good sponsor our success was due When we met with hard problems she pulled us through. Dignified seniors fill the front assembly seats. Dignified seniors perform many wondrous feats. From our teachers we’ve obtained a good education And now we have come to our own graduation. Oh! It’s now we have come to the turn in the lane. But we’ll often live over these school days again! —Marjorie Whitnack.
