Ilmlivation To the Spirit of Prep School For all the years you've lived beneath this roof, For gracious deeds that you've accom- plished here. lfor earnest counseling, for kindly cheer, For approhation, and for just reproof. For everything you've been, our gratitude SIHCCYC, Our gift, this hook. ii memory of days Long gone and days yet near: of hours per- chance Vihrant with beauty. glowing with ro- mance: Lovely as is youth's springtime: when life plays Its tine, sweet chords: when love and laughter dance. We leave you now, and as you idly Stray Through half-forgotten ways where thoughts entwine Close as the ivy: where bright memories line The path, like poppies,-then we hope you'll say.- Dear, foolish children! I am glad they're mine. -E. LONG.
