GLaa, Pq m, 1940 With graduation day at hand We, the class of Seniors, stand Prepared to close a book we've spent Twelve years in writing It has meant So much to us. Our School Memoirs Records the past and precious hours Spent in learning, laughing, growing We close this book and forth are going To gather up, with ease or strife, Material for our books of Life We pause between the time we pen The final letter and begin To fashion each a title page For our new books We now engage In thanking all the faculty For everything we've learned Then we Thank too our parents, by whose hand Our characters are molded And We also thank the students for The part they play in School Memoirs As our different stories start We leave the old with heavy heart. Co-authorship such as we've known Exists no more Each writes alone. Each stands alone now in all things No longer tied to apron strings Of formal education None Shall rest until his book is done The first few pages may not read As you would have them, but we plead That you will bear with us until Our books are finished, for we will Close the tales successfully No matter what the opening be. Farewell to our first volume then! Let the newer tales begin Make the letters large and bold! Let the manuscripts unfold With graduation day at hand We, the class of Seniors, stand Prepared for work, prepared for strife, Prepared to write our books of Life. —Margret Krug
