Once Upon a School



... This school is so different: It received a report card
... An all "A" card.

A for BUILDING CHARACTER
A for DEVELOPING TALENT
A for SPONSORING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP
A for COMMUNITY TEAMWORK
A for GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING
A for ENCOURAGING LIFELONG LEARNING
A for INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING
A for BUILDING AND FACILITIES


Never was there such a school
For years it dispensed the golden rule
Its building old, but kept so well
To inspire this deserving tale to tell.

Not of brick and stone, but far more deep
Its spirit lives in every girl
Its Alumnae prove you can't forget
A School you loved without regret.

And so to honor her, as honor due
A REPORT CARD comes to her from YOU:
Its marks, ALL-"A's"; she rates the best
Forty-four years she withstood the test.







An Extra-curricular activity and all are in pensive mood.



COMING TO SCHOOL in Before the Uniform Days.



The BELOVED SCHOOL at 72nd and Clyde Avenue.
