Clever Class Poem

Up Learning’s ladder, round by round We’ve climbed with many a fall; But, through the toil, companionship Has made amends for all.

Now from our giddy heights we glance, With calm thoughts and serene, Once more at those we leave today⁠— Our class of sweet sixteen.

I want to take you with me through The ranks of our small crowd; And, if you’ll listen carefully, You’ll know why we are proud.

Grace, as our goodly president Has served her second year; In singing, speaking, poetry, She stands without a peer.

Blanche is the sunshine of our class, She drives dull care away Her laughing eyes, her smiling face, Have gladdened many a day.
