Senior Class History Old Miamiis in a 13X, for the Class of Nineteen-Six, Soon from her will pass away, on a memorable day, And of such great renown never will a class be found; Not in all the coming days of her darkened future ways. And that she may not lose all of this Class by no means small, Do we answer to the call, To discourse about her might and wonders to indite. lTis a Class of wondrous power, for eien in her opening hour, She great Victories did win amid gory battlels din. Is there need for me to tell what Miamiis sons know well, Of the day when NineteeneSiX in the tower-rush did mix? Was the Class of Nineteen-iive ever after that alive? Did they ever dare to say ought concerning that dread day? There were other foes to face, and we met them with good grace, And withstood them every one, and we never deigned to run. iTho we struggled, still weld rise, and press onward toward the prize. There was that fearful foe, Math, which uprose in all his wrath, With the purpose fell and firm that all should succumb to him. But we met him with a stern And hrm purpose ne,er to turn, And then to our surprise, he grew friendly fore our eyes And we had him in our grip-did we ever let him slip? Is there any need to write of the other foes of might, That we conquered in their turn? Does not every student burn With knowledge of the foes that to him have eier uprose? And our enemies were just the same as all mistrust, But the difference lies in this, that we Victory ne,er did miss. Would you then that we should bid, this sorrowful parting mid, The dear bells we know so well, mournfully and sad to knell? Rather let them loud and clear, tell the leountry far and near. That from out these classic shades comes a band of men and maids, Into lifels larger school of thought, and of action, where to be wrought Are works of more mighty skill, deeds and words of true good-will, There to take a fitting place and the stern foes to face. We are leaving you and now, do we make to you our bow. NINETEEN-SIX. 38
