Class Poem Let us admit fairly As high school seniors should; We’ve had no end of lessons And they’ve done us no end of good. We entered as timid freshmen; We leave as graduates bold, And we find it hard Jo realize The knowledge our young heads hold. We’ve had our foolish notions Knocked higher than Franklin’s kite; Our minds have been made over. And we know it served us right. We’ve spent four years in labor hard To prove the fact once more That life is quite confused, And two and two are seldom four. We’re crammed to the brim with learning And now we must turn it to use, And if one of us is a failure, He hasn’t a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk, The better results we shall get. For we’ve had four years of training; It may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly As high school seniors should; We’re proud of New Lexington High School; It’s done us a lot of good. —JOANNE BOUDINOT Class Poet
