Williams Baker THE CLASS A PLEA FOR THIRTY-FOUR I stood before the judgment throne And watched the classes come. Each pleaded furtively its case; I noted down each one. The herald called out, Thirty-four, I pricked up both my ears. This was a group I had not seen For many, many years! A spokesman stepped forth from the crowd.
