YEAR BOOK --- CLASS of 1906 Chairman, BENJAMIN. E. HERMAN. Committee, GERTRUDE L. HunvtER, ARTHUR S. WHITNEY. Senior Class Day Class Poem P, gentle Knight, gird on thy shining sword; Thy vigil thou hast watched ; forth to the fray! Thy mettle in thy Master’s cause display, Thy valor in the service of thy Lord.” The King hath spoken; low his -servant bends, And hastes to do the thing his Lord commands. His gleaming arms he dons with eager hands, And gayly from the castle gate descends. Before him stretch the tender fields of spring, Warmed by the climbing sun of early day; And louder, as he hurries on his way, The echoes backward sounds of tumult fling. Straight through the struggling host of friend and foe, With sword unsheathed, and helmet proudly high, His hand untired, undimmed his ardent eye, The Knight, full brave in youthful strength, doth go. And some they staunchly stand, and some they fall, Unnoted, while the battle stills roars on; Here these. have lost, there those the conflict won ; The day wears on in ceaseless strife for all. His helmet gone, his arms no longer bright, The Knight yet plies his sword with weary thrust: His garment all befouled with blood and dust, No pageantries to battle now incite.
