THE OPTIIVIIST Farewell of the Class of '24 There comes a time every four years When Seniors all are in tearsg And now there has come those sad days, When we are sailing out on the dim highways. Just a word of parting, we wish to say, And so to remind us of golden daysg Dear comrades, we spent among you, And the greater task that you may do. Four years we spent among you, And tried our best to please you, So with fond memories and lingering glances To the class of '25 we give our places. 1 Dear comrades, you who take our places, Which we give to you with sorrow, And who one by one shall leave it, We bid you now farewell. There were pleasures and failures, But we bravely fought at our leisure, In the little school of fortune, Seniors no more shall torture. The names of Seniors shall remind all, When they harken to room four, No more will come back the echo of their call, They're gone, they're gone, forever more. ln years to come when we look back, And think of all we lack, Dear teachers you who have led us along our path And patiently borne with us our laughs. We learned the lessons that you taught, And thank you for your many thoughtsg And as we travel on life's main, We shall always remember the St1'El,l11. We trust that the future may perfect, And we shall ne'er forget, And may you think of Seniors Who bid you now Good-Bye. Dear classmates there is but one word Thus to utter in parting, Whether for a day or a lifetime, So dear classmates we can but say Good-Bye. -Ida Kelley, '24 D I
