1946 ~ 1955
Grades one through
eight
I wonder if teachers
Fathomed the impression
They made on our young
lives
Those rag-tag kids
from Caseyville
Could they
see
Standing at the blackboard
Chalk in hand
They were sowing seeds
Chalk in hand
They were sowing seeds
Introducing concepts,
challenging
Those rag-tag kids
from Caseyville
Doctors, lawyers,
shopkeepers, barbers
Writers, researchers,
teachers, nurses
Students who grew up
proud and strong
Today they call us "The Silent
Generation"
Those rag-tag kids
from Caseyville
