THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER CLASS POEM BY KATHERINE SWARTWOUT Out from the storm-sheltered harbor Wetve embarked on the sea of Life; Each his own vessel must pilot Through waters with turbulence rife. Not all the same path Will follow, Though all have the same goal in view, Treacherous currents will swallow Those veering from right and from true Tempests and storm clouds will menace This voyage so fairly begun, Mountainous waves will engulf, then, The light craft-success yet unwon. Only the strong make the voyage, Clearing each rock of the sea, Gliding to Lifets safer waters, Resplendent with tranquillity. Battered the hull but still sturdy, The mast lifts itself oier the foam, Storm-rent, the sails bravely billow With zephers that guide the craft home. Under the arch of the rainbow, Flashing with gold tneath the sun, Rich with the promise of guerdon Which rings in the Masterts ttWell done?
