School Scenes Reflect To dream the impossible dream. To fight the unbeatable foe. To bear with unbearable sorrow. To run where the brave dare not go. To right the unrightable wrong. To love pure and chaste from afar. To try when your arms are too weary. To reach the unreachable star. 'ITiis is my quest. To follow that star. No matter how hopeless. No matter how far. To fight for the right, without question or pause. To be willing to march into hell. For a heaven Iv cause . . . 6
