Graduation Long silent rows advance in solemn stillness. With humble hearts toward the threshold. Sadly and yet not so sad, grateful, tired parents, Just begun but ending when their eyes can see no more. Each one advances and receives a key, A fateful key for with it they must unlock life's door. Mid applause and heart felt laughter, Students leave forever silent books, And emerge beyond the threshold, men and women. By Francis Rooney Senior High English Teacher
