MAROQN AND GOLD CLASS POEM CLASS OF IUNE 1932 A light that shone above beckoned us, A cliff between, a pit below threatened us, Ice and snow heavily veiled the clilf: Black waters and untold animals dwelled in the pit. Above great wonders shone and radium in its splendor glowed: Upward, onward! Over the ice we climbedg Our feet slipped and the waters below, Lashed against the sides of the wall, Steadfastly we held to our staffs And pushed through the snow and ice. The glow from the light, warmed our hands: The chill from below rose in flurry blasts, But to no avail, for our goal was near at hand. Cherry voices, we began to hear, The snow and ice, we saw no more, Green grass, and yellow jonquils, we saw instead We looked below, the hole had closed We knew we had reached the light that shone. Oh, but we traveled o'er that rugged way But not for long, for we kept in our minds, He who steadfastly holds, shall in the end attain his goal. -Wilma Singletary, Iune '32 4 W l il X hilt' PAGE 25
