Uhr Zlllnmvr Elhat Ellnnmrh We were a mere flower seed Planted 1n school long ago Mlxed ln wxth dlfferent weeds Gulded by the teacher s hoe Some grew by leaps and bounds Others grew very slow Wlth the tender care we got Our m1nds began to grow The heavens opened frequently And showered us w1th knowledge Some of us took a buslness course Whlle others planned for college We thrlved well upon our food The books and hours of study We had a thlrst for learnlng And grew beslde our buddy Were only the tears we shed The end of school was nearlng And who knew what lay ahead' The sun shone down upon us From the Sk18S so blue above It k1SS6d our sk1n Wlth goodness Promotmg brotherly love We changed from that l1ttle seed To a bud about to burst Twevle years of good tlmes have passed From thls year back to the first Here we are on Commencement Day A garden of wondrous flowers About to begm l1fe s Journey Through happy and sorrowful hours Who knows when we w1ll be p1cked Who knows where we ll make our stand? All IS up to the future And the path shown by God s hand MYRNA ANN SALTMAN Class Poet The rains that slashed our faces
