10 THE TOOT WE. THE LISTENERS The day was Tuesday, the month September, Like yesterday, we will remember, Through the tranquil morning breezes A voice was heard. We listened. “Vacation’s over, time to get up And begin your senior year of high school.” We entered cur stately Alma Mater, Some of us before, some of us after The sound of the ringing bell was heard. We listened. We listened to the great immortal lines of Shakespeare ‘Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. Down the stairs in the room to the right. Amid the scientific words of wisdom Are heard many a loud tumultuous scream Of the excited girls on a basketball team. In French, Latin, Spanish and Italian We listened to the many strange sounding words. We listened to explanations in history, Of bills and laws, treaties and amendments. In assembly there was music, laughter and speeches. To all of these—we listened. On the cold blustery days of winter, we listened. We listened for a voice to say There d be no school for us today. Then came the spring, filled with hope and fancy. We listened for the utterance of authority proclaiming “Due to the shining sun, you see, here’s other work that must be done. Your Spring vacation has now begun. We finally listened with great aspirations For the results of our regents examinations. They called out our names and passed out diplomas Proudly and reminiscently we listened. And now we shall listen for opportunity, Yes. opportunity will soon be calling. —LILLIAN RUBIN
