Farewell Iligh school, farewell; the sunny hours have passed When through thy fragrant fields of knowledge new We strolled in gay-voiced throng. Here parts the pat. That we’ve together faced; alone we face I lenceforth, the hopeful dangers of our way. Farewell old times; the river rushes on. I he pensive clouds flit over day by day In ever-varying similitude; And sun with other suns trades beam for beam Across an ever-shifting universe. The bees and buds and blossoms, all around, Are not the ones which gladdened last year’s May; And where we were a little while ago Now other busy high school students arc. Farewell, plain track; the path ahead grows dim, And night awaits us on the mountain top. Oh, when we’ve reached the summit of our climb When all our life is but a retrospect,— May we not then with idle, sad regret Look back upon the hours of eager youth. Or sigh in anguish at the words “No more!” But like a man who, through a summer rain. Toils up a mountain all a weary day. And then at evening, when the sky is cleared. Admidst the purity of aspen woods Stands warmly robed against the snowdrift breeze And looking hack across the hills beholds 1 he city’s lights, terrestrial galaxy, In far-off hazy gleam stretched out below; I hen. upward glancing, sees the fairer shine Of lights that shine alike on hill and vale, And change not with the changing of man’s life;— So may we climb our mountains faithfully; So may we view the joys of this fair time, Nor fail to trust in heaven’s eternal gleam. L. C. C. ’10. Josh Backward! turn oackward, oh tint in ycur flight. Give us a maid with her own hair in sight, (iive us some handsome and sens hie girls, Not walking masses of puffs and of curls. We arc so weary of ringlets and rats. Pompadours filling up peach basket hats, Marcelles and lone locks and switches and things I Icld on by hammocK hooks, guv ropes and strings. Grandma, come back from the echoless shore, Take back your hair, please, and wear it once more; Why did you leave it on earth years ago Take them all off and send rhern beicw
