§ cma As we look back on Abbot years And call to mind our joys and fears, The friendships made, The experience shared, Intangibles to which we cling, We see the meaning of this ring. Though soon our paths will lie apart Though new careers for us will start, We, unafraid, Hopes, unimpaired, Can face whate ' er the years will bring Because we have our Senior ring. May this reminder keep us true To our ideals, and hopes renew; When doubts invade And we have dared To falter at life ' s unkind sting, May we be strengthened by this ring. Charlotte Skinner j nee a cma Recall, O Tree, more than this sheltered life When shortly it is done. Recall that here we half-perceived the heights Awaiting to be won. The careless days of childhood lie behind; Our lives stretch on before. We glimpse new realms, and our untried, young minds Would hasten to explore. If visions, touched by Truth ' s harsh breath, should fade, If Wisdom proves unkind, Destroying that sweet, blissful, trusting faith Which lulled the dormant mind, If, facing light, to a far kindlier shade Our aching eyes would turn, Recall to us the will which here was ours To live, and living, learn.
