Sonnet No. 56 8,796 School, school, house of toil and strife, I'm so weary, existence is so dreary. Oh my goodness, what an awful life! Inside your walls so exceedingly dank and bleary, I sit cramming, never mastering-grinding. Through my thick skull no idea peeks I sit-with hands on cheeks. How hard l'm seeking-never finding That most elusive of all creatures-knowledge. The teachers have a very sorry lot! When asking me how I'll get through college, They say that in this school I'll rot! But then--I think not. If you believe you're wise and know it all, You'll be surprised how hard you can fall. -Bon CLEMENT Will You Remember? Those years we walked those old and worn floors When with each step some of the loose boards creakedl Though there were studies and scoldings behind its doors, What fun we had and out our laughter leaked! Hundreds of initials carved on each seat and table, Elegant lockers where we kept our paper, Some class year numeral in paint on every gable And many a gay friend to cut a fancy caper, Then a front seat and from the teacher a talk. Some budding romance in the study hall, A few cold faces from a long hard walk, But soon forgotten at some party ball. We will always love it and see it in all its pride The greatest fire cannot its memories hide! --RUTH PARKHILL 55 sssss me
