CI ass roem The time of parting has arrived. We each must go a different way, We have been here four short years, Of each other ' s associations we 11 be deprived, But never from old friendships shall we stray. We have been here four short years Reaping the joys and bliss of life. Now we must shed our bitter tears. Knowing that before us is real strife. And if the world be given a lofty place. And we by chance mu5t take a lower one. Remember it — so far— has won the race. But there is still life, and we are not done. And then if we be greatly praised And are granted favors o ' er and o ' er. May the World be not much annoyed, For our Alma Mater is old Lenoir. E. B. KeISLER, Poel. (28)
