Settlor 'Poem Mail, Senior! Prowl Daughter, proud Son! The race is ended, the laurel is won. The day long looked for through the years Has come, anti with its dawn appears New fields of conquest for us all, New hope, new strength shall on us tall. W e view with gladness honors won, Awl, too, with sadness the day that’s done; For heart and mind were in the task That’s o'er. So, Seniors, may I ask. What thought you have of the tomorrow. Whether of joy, of indifference, or sorrow? Simpson, we leave you for another place. Some to college, some to face Life’s battles in the near and far. It matters not where’er we are. Let us uphold the standard set By Simpson, ne’er her precepts forget. And in the years that come and go. We shall honor her teachings, love her so. Then. Seniors, be loyal, he steadfast, l e true. And joy and peace will come to you. Morris Turner. Class Poet '27.
