SENIOR CLASS POEM x O Once upon a midnight dreary, As I sat up in my den, I tried to think and think and think, Which way to move my pen. It was because of this, dear friends, Of this and nothing more, Because we needed poetry, For our annual of great yore. When we started we were Freshmen, And soon were Sophomores big, And when later we were Juniors, We certainly had to dig. And now that we are Seniors, And are wearing caps and gowns, We have ventured many battles, ‘And we have had our ups and downs. We can hardly believe it’s true, That we must leave our school, And will venture in a new world With tongue or pen or tool. But when we leave on class day We hope that we’ve done well, And as we leave you under classmates, We bid you fond farewell.
