S32 Ld, CLASS POEM -1' -if Our life is a book, and only we I-lave power to write therein. The days we live are its pages: Our character'-the pen. The cover bound about it is made By God's own hand, We're placed upon the shelf of life To await His command, And when our book is opened What will the reader see? A life of service, faith and love? Or will the answer be, The writing here is not very clear, I see no good at all. The book is closed, the reader gone, You're placed against the wall. Yes, the reader's gone. I-le travels on To find books more worthwhile, No time for you, whose pages few Are unclean, blotted, vile. The book he seeks is rich and full. No scantiness, no scrawl, One which remains unblemished The masterpiece of all. So, Graduates, may we make our book One to be much read, One whose pages we'll open wide Proudly and unafraid. With our high school days the preface Of our book comes to an end. The living chapters, small or great, In the future must be penned. ,- X lb BLACK AND GOLD
