CLASS POEM Memories Our years are long and memories short But no one will forget the fort Where we were taught the difference 'Twixt knowledge and our ignorance. The days will come when we'll recall The boys who lived around our hall. These boys we'll meet again some day And in some place, and in some way, Remember life at S M A. Soon, too soon, we'll leave behind That hallowed place which in our mind Gave peace and warmth and sanctity To minds that craved sagacity. But memories of our bygone life Will travel with us through our strife. Despite the bleach of year and day, They will not fade, nor will they stray- Those memories of S M A. 27 Wyatt Gibbs
