Clam Poem WE OF '42 This is the year we graduate, This year we pass through Life,s open gate, And leave behind our loved school days, To fare forward on our several ways. We For feel we have earned a few years' rest, We We plan to have proms, and teas, and dances, plan to have fun-and yes, romances. But now let us settle down and see What kind of grown-ups we shall be: Some of us will, no doubt, win fame, Our names will be sung with great acclaim. Some will be mothers of families, Some will write poems of flowers and trees. Some will wear furs and lustrous pearls, Some be contented bachelor girls. And I'm sure that there,ll be more than one Whoill choose the life of a saintly nun. Weill have musicians, and artists, too, Out of the Class of '42. In the lives of us all there'll be joys and cares, There'll be tender things called love affairs. we,ve faithfully worked, and done our be S We'll face life with a smile, and we,ll be strong, We'll do whatls right, and not what's wrong. XVe'll make Saint Agnes proud to be The Alma Mater of such as we. We'll shoulder our burdens the best we can, We'll try to fit into God's great plan. We'll remember the lessons we learned in school, We'll try to abide by the Golden Rule. We'll show to our teachers gratitude By going about and doing good, Fulfilling their wishes in our regard, Though days be cheerless, and tasks be hard. There's one thing we shall surely do, We'll be Americans--loyal, true. In times of peace and times of war, We'll do what our parents did before. W'e'll toil for this, our mother sod, We,ll be true to our homes, and true to God. -CONSTANCE BIOSSAT, '42.
