Poet’s Corner CLASS CREED We believe that where there is education, there is a finer cul- ture; where there is a finer culture, there is a closeness to God; and where there is a closeness to God, there is eternal peace. To be sincere, but civil; to be firm, but reasonable; to recog- nize another ' s viewpoint while defending our own, we resolve to meet the future fired with the flame of the present, and armed with the steel of the past. ■Wilfred Lamb CLASS SONG Jackson ' s School Bells (Tune: Auld Lang Syne) Throughout the land Jackson ' s bells ring. And each clear tone a vision brings, The nation ' s strength; it ' s hope and pride For many years shall e ' er abide. Their ringing tells of opened doors. To education ' s richest stores. Of hand that ' s trained, of mind that ' s freed, Of heart that ' s stirred by word and deed. Where ever young lives are taught right, That truth and honor still are might. Our character is life ' s chief gain, Our rightousness tow ' r o ' er our brain. Ring out, ring out, across the sky. Proclaim the cause that ne ' er shall die. Through distant time in every clime. Where we lift our eyes to heights sublime, Let Jackson school bells ring, ring, ring. Let Jackson school bells ring. Let Jackson school bells ring, ring, ring. Through all eternity. CLASS POEM On our first year, entering this school. It seemed like a long swim in a lonely pooll All our hearts were full of hope and trust. Unaware of the hardships that awaited us. Every one was willing to do his share. So to us our hardships seemed very rare. Though many times our way seemed blockec Being swimmers we always reached the doc But we kept striving and doing our best. We realized no hardships would forever las And as the time is approaching for us to def It leaves us all with broken hearts. % But as we leave we realize. Our longest swim has just begun. And the greatest battle of them all. Is the battle, which has yet to be won. ■Henry O. You ■Frances Flowers 12
