1942 E C H O I 9 4 2 Class Poem To the Class of Forty-Two —Martha Brosius We laugh right now when we are told That when we kids are growing old, We ll look upon our high-school days As the dearest, brightest, happiest phase Of our lives. But. mark my word. You'll find your eyes with tears half blurred When sweet old mem’ries. dimmed by time. Bring back to mind those days sublime. Somehow, today we cannot see What value school and books can be; We grumble when the work seems tough. And leisure time’s not long enough. But stop and think! Won’t you admit That life’s not smooth, it’s filled with grit? We ll find huge tasks along the way; Will we give up as we do today? Let’s meet those trials with a lift of the chin! One gets from life what one puts in. We ll value ten times greater yet Those things we’ll have to fight to get. They’re training us. in school today. To face those problems on life’s way: Let’s not condemn, indeed, let’s praise Those fruitful years,—our high-school days.
