THE TOOT 25 1938 CLASS POEM (With apologies to Longfellow.) On the street of Peterboro, In the village, Canastota, —Knistestota, three still pine trees Stood our stately Alma Mater. Green behind it spread the meadow There the field for all athletics, Field for hockey, football, baseball, Where girls and boys, alike, competed. Bright within it sat the students, Struggling hard with text and note books, Working, playing, laughing, talking. There the wise and learned teachers Coached, with zeal, their wayward pupils Caring sometimes more for playing Than for History C or English; Taught them how to learn and live well, ’Till after four years they departed From the noble halls of learning. Forth into the wide world straightway, All alone went each alumnus, Proudly with his school diploma, Filled with all his hard-earned knowledge: To become, perhaps, a leader, Or another John Q. Public, Each to make his fame and fortune, And ne’er forget his Alma Mater. -J. I. D.
