On the Retirement of Matthew Ingall, Headmaster

Everyone remembers it -
the little ones, that first day there;
for parents, that place where
the kids come out, and people chat.

Teachers too look back - that sign
of each young bud about to bloom -
but also they recall the room
that they met Matthew, the first time.

You brought an eloquence and grace,
and thoughtfully applied the rules.
For leadership in fire and flood, you'll
Always have a special place
in our community and school.

Some things when gone, you can't replace.
