Class Poem

By Mickey Carringer (May, 1963)

Ole M.H.S., I’ll always love you

Because you’re more than school.

Because you’re more than books and grades

And more than sets of rules.

Because you’re friends – and classmates too,

Because you’re spirit, good and true.

Because you’re kind and patient long,

Because you’re right and shy from wrong.

Because you’re proud, and proud make me,

Because you’re honest for the world to see.

Because you’re life from A to Z,

Because, old girl, you’re part of me.
