V THE GRADUATES fWith Apologies to Whittierj Blessings on thee, dear young folks, Graduates with broken yokes! With thy gowns of black and white And thy tasseled caps set just right, With thy long strides, longer still, Led by the prof through drill after drill, With the lights now on thy face, Do not tremble-avert disgrace! With all my heart I love to prate, I was once a graduate! Oh, for schoolday's painless play, Work that fills the laughing day, Health that mocks the doctor's rule, Knowledge that we learned in school, Of the number, gender, and case, Of old Latin's time worn place, How the teachers take the rolls, How the prof the halls patrols, Where the classes each begin, Where much ditching is a sin, Where our lunch is keenly sought, Where each one laughed, played, and fought. Oh, for a graduate's time in June, Crowding years that end so soon When all things I heard or saw, Were remembered like the schoolboy's law! I was learned in books as you, Math and art and chemistry, too, For my sport frosh did perform, Wishing oft' they'd ne'er been born. 7. Laughed, we chums, for mere delight, Through the day and through the night, With whispering we bothered all, 'Til reports needs had to fall. Mine the hardest blow to come, Mine of the others, twice the sum, Mine not a switch, but a good sized limb, I never rated a willow slim. You are monarch: the sister Fates Wait for thee, sweet graduates! P BERY1. MOUNT, '51 I 151 lla Herita
