When we entered the grammar
school our minds were unframed bu,
were willing and ready to receive
knowledge that would prepare us to
be true men and women. Our souls
were fed; our characters made strong

parents and teachers, who let us in
the paths Of truth like good shep-

one of us would stray little apart
from the rest but soon would find
his way back again; for within all
