CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL The old New England builders builded well. They set the foundations of the school deep in the earth, And made its walls strong with solid masonry To endure the wasting of the years. They placed great blocks of granite for steps to the wide entrance And for more than half a century they have known The eager feet of youth Pouring into school to get what the school could give them And hasting out again to give it back to the world, Some thirtyfold, some sixty, some a hundred. Judges, doctors, teachers, churchmen, leaders in all the professions, And thousands upon thousands of men and women Of every walk and name, The kind of people America is built upon. Even the stubborn granite of the steps Has yielded a little to the long parade — Polished smooth, hollowed a little here and there, And still the long, long march goes on, Today’s youth coming in and going out. Watch them as they pass And see in them the future. Call the roll again: Judges, doctors, teachers, and the rest; Maybe a president — who knows? They are all there if we could recognize them. One thing we know Tomorrow America will be theirs. NM
