MOUNTAIN OF KNOXVLEDGE The mountain isn't easy to climb But it's worth the time that you spend From the base, where the quaking aspen grows To the top, where the sturdy oaks bendg For after you pass the chestnut tree And slip by the whispering pine, After you pass the shade of the oak, You stand on the winning line. And after the evening draws to rn close And the clipper hangs low in the skyg You'll never regret the work it took To climb up this mountain high. -Verna Bc' HZ 'ji'-.- W any if t i lifluf , 4, i, -1.- page nine
