HUGHES! Aurora, goddess of the dawn, Arises from the land of dew. She parts the pearly mists of morn And lets the golden sunlight through, To glorify your lofty tow'r That all from far and near may see. Then, o'er your door, in flaming script She writeth, Opportunity! The opportunity for all! The rich, the poor,-each has his turn. Staid Wisdom, smiling on the scene, Imparts to each, what he would learn- The knowledge of the Universe, The truths revealed since time began, And with them comes the law of life, lVIan's duty to his fellow-man. Hughes, golden gateway to the Land The fair, enchanted Land of Love, The giver of the finest gifts, That hard-earned wisdom has in store, The vast, undying hope of those Whose lives will someday touch her own And there will reap the harvest fair That generations past have sown, Old Hughes, at eventide you stand A silhouette against the sun, The jeweled clouds-a halo form To crown you when the day is done, Though years may mar that silhouette, And rend the banner now unfurled, Your glory and your power will live Until the sunset of the world! But now, we too, must join the ranks Of those who've left you in the past. We, too will gayly take our place Assured of victory at last. But if we fail-God grant that we May meet defeat, and yet be true To your ideals, your hopes, your name! And now, dear Hughes-we go-Adieu. Eleanor Powers 22
