I51 HUGHESwHERETS TO THEE! E STAND before the gates that to the world do open, And ponder through the drowsy hours, The endless circles of the hands of time, Ere we go into the freshness of the world; And as we gaze upon the things that soon must deepen Into that twilight of deeds which we call memory, We see certain monumental figures That we erected ere we passed beyond The scope of Hughese Towering monadnocks stretching far above The level of our common ways, And rising ttil they pierce the curtain Of our remembrance; And as we see, we are recalled, Transported back der familiar soil, T0 witness once again Our humble works. Diligently we sought to do 013.1 duty to the school And those who look to us to build the future world; Often were we called by Folly, And many times we listened, and performed The deeds that pained us later on. Lightly passed we on, Wafted oter the solemn lessons of our mistakes, To see at last The thing we grasped the tightest, and held for ours; To see the right, And comprehend its farfetched terms; To know the right, And revere the thought wherein it thrives; To do the right, For of what value all our teachings, If the world feel not their strength? This we learned, if we conceived it, Through all the works that ever we explored With criticizing eye and pensive mood. Hughes-herds to thee! We leave thee now, Better armed to combat hosts of evil, Better armed to instill all good things Into this murmuring world. VICTOR BEISSINGER, ,20.
