WHEN I WAS A BOY IN SCHOOL lYe had no monumental hall, No temple reared its stately wall, IVhen I was a boy in school. In houses of wood, decrepit, old, That shut out neither heat nor cold, Our young minds struggled to unfold, XYhen I was a boy in school. No paved roads then on which to go, Kept clear of mud and winter snow, XX'hen 1 was a boy in school. XVe traveled not, luxurious, Conveyed to school in auto-busg Our sturdy legs transported us, NVhen I was a boy in school. Not yet had basketball been played, And gym to us no thought conveyed, VVhen I was a boy in school. But theres was pom pom pull away. 0le cat, and prison gool to play, And shinny, on a winters day, NYhen I was a boy in school. To our wild spirits we gave vent, Uncurbed by Student Government, NVhen I was a boy in school. But when we grew too rough and wild, The rule that quickly made us mild NYas, Spare the rod and spoil the child, NYhen I was a boy in school. XYe lived our lives in our own way, Unsupervised by P. T. A., XYhen I was a boy in school. No Boy Scouts then, no Camp Fire group: How we played, no one gave a whoop: Nobody dished us out hot soup, XYhen I was a boy in school. The passing years will quickly llow: 'Twas just a little while ago, XYhen I was a boy in school. May happiness beside you dwell, May romance weave its mystic spell, Till to your children you will tell, VVhen I was a boy in school. -By Thomas Spelman. 12
