My Dear Pupil,

   Swiftly has run the tide of
time since our term began and
now we have reached its close.

   In parting from you I cannot
express the love and esteem
I bear you.  Our mutual labors
and friendships formed will
proudly live in our memories.

   That time may deal gently with
you is the earnest wish of,

                    Your Teacher

           "School Days"

"Twas autumn when our school resumed
 And russet were the leaves,
 The stately corn was tassel plumed
 And ripened were the sheaves.

 And quickened with vacations rest
 Resolved our best to do,
 We entered school with greater zest
 Than hitherto we knew.


Page 5:


 And glad we were our mates to meet,
 Our good old times review,
 Our teacher's sunny smile to greet
 And all our love renew.

 Oh! widely too, we oped our eyes
 To our next holiday
 When we should eat the pumpkin pies
 Of glad Thanksgiving day.

 And too, we saw the lengthened ray
 Of Bethlehem's bright star
 That ushered in the Christmas day
 Reflected from afar.


Page 6:


 Oh! swift the time has fled away
 As fleeting as the rose.
 Since school began it's op'ning day.
 Till now, it's day of close.

 But we've improved and felt the glow
 Of progress truly made
 And feel indeed how much we owe
 Our teacher's kindly aid.

 So here's regards to each and all,
 Our sweet farewells till when
 Our school bell rings its cheery call,
 And brings us back again.


Page 7:

 When the golden sun is sinking
 And your mind from care is free.
 When of others you are thinking,
 Will you sometimes think of me."


W.E. Seibert, Pub. New Phila.
