THE ORACLE —1923 3 A TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL. I am just a common Township High School, In the north end of our town, I was erected a decade less three years ago, Where the prairie once was found. I have ranked among the highest, Of the High Schools in my class, There’s not a one in all the state, That I cannot surpass. My students go to higher schools, Where my credits are acknowledged, As I’m a High School on their list, Which gives an entrance to their college. My halls are filled with knowledge, Which some day shall turn to fame, And may be recorded on great pages, Which I’m sure, is every teachers aim. But I’m just a common Township High School, Compared to our neighbors and the rest, So here, begin your education, And you’ll not regret your quest. A. M-n.
