Poem written on the occasion Of n,
dedlcat1on Of the Lcfor Consolidated
school by Gilbert Sanford Crync,
Old Glory and the School House
/ never see "Old Glory" floating from
Above a school house, but by faith 7
can descry,
A time when these children, who are
being taught it's worth
VIII have grown to men and women
and to life's duties have gone forth.
They will have climbed to erudition
patiently, grade by grade,
And their csoteric minds will a recon-
pense have made,
For the ethics of our common schools
are as vital as the air
And with u system of education, no
other can compare.
never see a school house but my
mind reverts to when
AS these children are being taught,
was being taught then,
10 honor and obey the laws, and my
self to guide Alright,
Protected by it's starry folds, and it's
motto Fright Makes Might"
And as we dedicate the house today,
we hope that for all time,
The ones that graduate from it will
go forth with faith sublime
For He who rules the world by right
to keep u free and strong
For love and peace and liberty ever
'gainst the wrong.
