Girls had to wear dresses or skirts
all the time.
But now it's pants and t-shirts
even jeans are not a crime.

50 years ago
there was no arena or gym.
But now we have them both
even a pool so we can swim.

                ~ Hunter

Students along ago
all played an instrument.
But today there are so many choices
the popularity of band came and went.

                  ~Brittany C.

Boys used to be
the only ones to play a sport.
Now it is the girls
who rule the basketball court!

             ~Adriana

The school used to be
small.
But now it's big and
tall.

                 ~Matthew H.
 

The school's colors used to be
only green & white.
But then they added black
making Shamrocks dynamite!

It used to be when girls went swimming
they went to a window and got a stinky suit.
But now we wear our own swimsuits
and they are so very cute.

Students used to go on picnics at recess
and have a little munch.
But now we go on the playground
just after we eat lunch.

           ~Kyle

Students used to have a separate chorus
there were the girls & then the boys.
But now the chorus is a mix
together making a beautiful noise.

               ~ Zachary
 

The school used to be really big
when it was just first built.
But now they've added on to it
it's like a school on stilts.

              ~Brittany B.

There used to be one lunch choice
it was bread and something homemade.
But now there are so many things
We can even swap or trade.

             ~Jonathan

Recess looked different back in the day
They had picnics and played baseball
where only boys could play.
But now boys and girls play games together
They play on our playground
in beautiful weather.

                    ~Lexi           

The girls at school never got to play sports
but now they get to play all sorts.
They play soccer, and have sweaty lockers.
The girls at our school used to be mad
but now I bet they're very glad.

In 1958
there was no arena for skating.
But in 2008
it's used for hockey and kids graduating.

                   ~Jesse

In 1958 boys used to wear pants and
girls had to wear dresses or skirts.
but now wearing skirts and dresses
everyday really hurts.

                   ~John W.

We used to have a marching band
who marched throughout the land.
But now we play our instruments up on stage
and beautiful songs are heard as we read our music off a page.

                         ~Ashley

In 1958 there was no play ground
 in back of school.
Now we have 2 colorful ones
but a hay mound would still be cool.

Students used to have
only one choice in lunch.
But now we have more than 1 choice
and sometimes we even have punch.

The students used to clean up
the janitors made it so.
But now the students help
to make Salmon's cleanliness show.

Back then they had no technology
except for a film strip or reel-to-reel.
But now we have computers and TVs
even DVD players-what a great deal!

                      ~Tianna

Back then the girls were only
allowed to swim and bowl.
But now we can do anything
even shoot and score a goal!

               ~Cheyenne
 

The school used to have
filmstrips to watch a movie.
But now we have TVs
and that's much more groovy.

The school used to be
 little and old.
But now the school is
 new and bold

There may have been fewer flags
back in the early days.
But now we're proud to have
Three flags that daily sway.

Back in 1958
bad kids could get slapped with a paddle.
But now if this was to happen
It would cause quite a battle.

The colors of our school
used to be green and white.
Now they are green, white and black.
What a wonderful sight!
