CLASS PGEM The goal for which we all have strived is coming into sight, We've learned just how, and when, and why, and also wrong We're going out into a world where each may do his share, But 'tis quite impossible to say exactly where. A boy might be a soldier, a sailor, or marine, Another a professor or better still a dean, A banker or an architect, a farmer or a doctor, A butcher, baker, dentist, clerk, a journalist, or proctor. T'was usually quite natural for a girl to have been a teacher, A model, or stenographer, or possibly a preacherg But now she's in a factory working for defense, A WAVE, a WAAC, a SPAR, a nurse, to help in times so tense. She works long hours and on the swing shift too, At home or in the shop there's nothing she can't dog And along with her brothers on land and on sea, She's helping to keep this the land of the free. So we leave these halls of learning for a new and different life, Which though crowded with hardships and worries and strife, Will help us to prove in all that we do, That we are Americans through and through.
