I won $10 for writing these words in 1951.

 Clarence Central High School Alma Mater - 1951

 (To the tune of the Cornell University alma mater)

 by Alan Cook

 

Clarence Central, we all love you

More with every year,

And we'll try to bring you honor

All the time we're here.

 

Clarence, we'll uphold your standards,

Keep you great and strong;

Then we'll always be victorious

Over all that's wrong.

 

Chorus:

 

In the years that lie before us

When we're far apart,

Thoughts of Clarence, like a treasure,

Will enrich each heart.

Well, Alan, you got short-changed.
This poem is easily worth $11. Maybe more...
Wait. 1951? That was before they invented money!

That was a lot of money in 1951. I hope it endured with the school for some time and I'm glad that you have it among your memories.

I don't have any of the poems I wrote in high school. But they were only a few and to girls I liked. Basically throw aways.
