s is for the students that we have taught. i is for the insPiration that they have brought. X is for the X number of lines that bullies were ordered to write. t is for the tears shed when the strap executed judgment and fright. i is for the inKWells where ribboned braids, by boyish pranks, were dipped. e is for eXciteMent when someone was unexpectedly tripped. t is for the togetherness of early school dismissal, freedom and fun. h is for the haPPiness during recess times under the golden sun. a is for the aPPles on teacher's desk, lined in rows, gifts shiny and red. n is for the neW day when sleepy heads were aroused from bed. n is for the naMes of students who earned stars shiny, silvery and bright. i is for the interest of various classes about everything in sight. V is for the ViM, Vigour and VitalitY of every ViBrant class. e is for the enthusiasM in June over earning and receiving a “Pass.” r is for the reading, 'riting and 'rithMetic covered each day. s is for the sMiles that brightened us all each day along life's way. a is for the alarM that signalled everyone outside for each fire drill. r is for the rePorts that diligent students did thrill. Y is for the YardsticKs that Yesterdays' memories do fill.
