junior (Elaao JJurm Slip ICiylits Abobr thr (Emiflirt Since all that is must tight to live, Our nation great and strong With mighty forces must engage. In battles, brave and long. In the battles we are fighting, Not for prestige, fame or might; But to break the bonds that hold us. Bonds of ignorance and might. O’er our plains and fertile valleys, Frowning castles do not stand; But instead we find the school-house, It’s the strong-hold of our land. In these strong-holds are no soldiers, Armed with implements of steel; But in their place the school boy brave. Fights his battles just as real. Many forces now are seeking, To aid the cause of right. Like a thousand beacons shining, On our forces in the fight. In this mighty constellation, Of all the lights that gleam From horizon to horizon. Wisdom’s star shines supreme. I see that from this wondrous star. Of all hs radiant beams, A simple one, of all the rest, To me the brightest seems. I do not pause for long in doubt Its name I do not guess, I know at once that it must be, The grand, good old G. H. S. But now I see that e’en this beam That seems so very bright, Has one small ray so piercing that It sheds the greatest light. And once again 1 do not pause, But state without a fear; “None but the class of nineteen ten. Could shine so bright and dear.’’ Where e’er I go in all the world. The star glows night and dav; And this bright beam forever gleams. And lights me on my way. It matters not what may befall, Or if fiom friends I part; This brightest ray shall find me still. And bring gladness to my heart. -C. L. Q. (Former member of Junior Class.)
