SENIOR CLASS POEM The bell has ceased its ringing, For us it will ring no more; Our lessons have been completed; We pass out the entry door. Four years ago found us Freshmen, Entering upon our career. We admit we were excited And were somewhat filled with fear. But dark days glided by quickly, And we found ourselves one day Roaming along as Sophomores In the most delightful way; For we mastered every problem, Whether it was small or great, ’Till the year had passed entirely, And we entered the Junior gate. As Juniors we were eager To show off how much we knew; But the Seniors seemed to excel us In everything that we’d do. “But never mind, wise Seniors, It won’t be long ere our turn To act the brightest and wisest, And all of our class-mates spurn.” But since we have reached this highness, We are greatly changed in thought, For we find that though we seem greatest, There’s many things we’ve forgot. So even though we are graduates, And have learned our lessons well, The hardest task is left,—which is To bid you all farewell. ELSIE VOORHEIS, 1917.
