A Journey from
1944 to … Now
1961
When 1961 began,
It was my senior year.
The end of public school—at last!
Oh, yes, the end was near.
My grades were better—all because
I had dropped chemistry.
I took advanced mathematics then—
A better fit for me.
Or so I thought until the class
Was soon beyond my scope.
And I was realizing then:
In math am I a dope!*
But—I did two plays—played basketball
(Earned all-star status too)—
And baseball was a thrill that spring—
There was so much to do.
But soon—all over. School was out.
Bye, Husky white and red.
I looked along a different trail,
Where college lay ahead.
*Yes.
