FARMINGTON STUDENT IF If you could get to class on time and never, never shirk, If you could always have your books and start right in to work, If you could always answer all the questions teachers ask, And other times be silent although it be a task, If you could always have your home-work in on time, And never, never drop your books, Would it not be sublime? If you could do all of these things, Yes, each and every one, You'd earn your A's and credits, And be happy when 'twas clone. I u Iust a Day As the day closes on our life at school, And we pass forever from under its rule, We carry with us thoughts of this day Spent in such a careless, nonchalant way. At dawn we rose to the tasks in view, Young, irresponsible, and childish, too, As Freshmen we struggled with serious intent, Not realizing just what the whole thing meant, Then as Sophomores we took our stand Feeling grown up and perhaps a bit grand. Then, athletically, socially, scholastically, too. We showed upper classmen what we could do. We were luniors then-and the day wore on, We gave our play and our junior Prom, And we began to realize the problems we'd face When '31 went, leaving a vacant place. And now were the Seniors of thirty-two, Preparing, Farmington High, to bid you adieu. That's why we're pausing, reflecting this way, And reviewing this brief but pleasant day. We're the fiftieth graduating class, they say And we wonder if the others all felt this way, When their day at Farmington drew to an end Henceforth but a memory, like that of a friend.
