Irwin Class Poem The years pass. Or are the years but moments long drawn out On Fancy's loom. And made to seem a fabric strong, and colored With events of heart and brain? “But yesterday.” we say. but yesterday We were as children visiting the city, And for the first time seeing wonders, Wonders we could never forget.” We looked about the campus and each Path was a wonder; Each person was a novelty for thought. “Ah” we said, “here t«K we shall become Objects of wonder for those who come in time. And then this strange city was our own ; We learned its avenues. Its teachers were for us friends and counsellors; Students knew us and were known. Inside the lxx»ks other men were revealed. Xew companionships arose out of the books. Faces we did not sec. Voices we did not hear. Gestures invisible. These were for us as tho they had Iwen ours through the long years; All voices blended in the speech of friendship. And hands, outstretched, gestured greetings of good will. Page Twenty-toco

T HE ECHO Class Poem, Continued . n«I mow we stand here facing a new world— The sense of strangeness rises, f )ther wavs invite. New avenues appear to ask mir walking. ikI through the mists we see new forms of enterprise. New tasks. And a new promise. W e do not hesitate— Into the unknown we venture, Fearful a little, and a little wavering. Each to win some purposed goal. That we might the noble prestige. ()i this grand old school uphold. Vc turn to thee, our Alma Mater. May we always cherish thee. As a precious memory till the last. Bless us with the blessing Of a stout heart, a good will, and a zeal for work. Robixa Tinman . Class History Fellow students, having completed our course in Simpson, we recall with fond recollections the various events of our four years. The incidents in the life of a Senior can best he looked at with an historical eye. An outstanding quality of the class of 25 is the fact that the students have co-operated in the attainment of one goal—that of making Simpson a school with a three-fold aim; high educational ideals, clean athletics, and high religious convictions. W e early grasped the idea that the greatest tasks require united strength. This is a trait the class can boast of, whether it he on the athletic field or in the class room. W e have tried to make the bonds of friendship stronger and to promote brotherly love. We earnestly hope that the principle of democracy in Simpson shall never weaken. The principle of diplomacy that has been used so effectively throughout the ages ;u reaching the desired end has never been neglected by our Class. It has been our only hope at times. When we were on the brink of chaos it has guided us to safe foundations by providing us with innumerable alibis and excuses. WV have used it to invert our fiQ’s. making them 90's, to quiet the minds of angry parents. We used diplomacy when we harbored the pet peculiarities of our teachers, hoping that our shortcomings in studies would be overcome by their love and high esteem for our congenial qualities. It in all forms of progress there is constant changing. Our class has l»een progressive, as many of our students have changed their courses more than once. Txvrnly-thre,-
