Memories As the school year closes And our worries o’er, We shall recall the pleasures, Which we will have no more. Those English classes bring to mind A host of various topics, From “Romeo and Juliet” To essays, poems and novels. Oh yes, and all those Mathematics classes By which our mind was to be trained. And yet, I do recall the time The elastic snapped, our mind was sprained. But oh, those dear old German periods When Schweitzer’s philosophy we learned The words! Their meanings such a chal¬ lenge, That oft the midnight oil was burned. To mind there come those History periods, When notes we took with unending zeal. But when the examinations were corrected. Our weak self-effort was revealed! The Chemistry course was the other subject, With its matter very explosive. Beside defining and experimenting, There was much formula composing. But we must hurry onward. The closing bell has rung! The echo of it brings to mind That our work here is done! Martha Block PAGE TWENTY-SIX
