Children sit still with new respect And we smile and grin with delight. Now our folks are beaming with pride; If you don’t believe me, just look! Hundreds of times they were worried — Ha! Was it worth the time it took? “Your whole lives lie before you all,” “You hold the world in your hands, youth.” And “You are the cream of the crock,” The speaker will say, with all truth. Then they hand out the diplomas And we receive them with “thank yChs.” The applause is quite terrific And we give our so longs and adieus. At last, after years of worry Wondering if we’d ever come through, We step into the fresh spring air And say these remarkable 'words: v ' “Boy! Am I ever glad that’s over — Whew!” 25 YEARS AGO The Syracuse post office will become a second class post office it was announced by postmaster Leo B. Whitehead.
