fi The Winds As Oracles H, voice of the winds give answer ; you who are passing to and fro, Foretell the fate of ' 23 ' s class, I ' m sure that you will know. What will the future bring to each one? Winds of the world declare. The north wind blew in answer, his voice resounding loud and clear : The class of ' 23 will go forth to face the trials of life With hearts courageous to meet attacks of envy, hate, and strife. The battle may be hard to win, the race may be hard to run ; But by the strength of their high resolves Victory will be won. So for each member of this class I would now prophesy They ' ll meet whatever fate may come, with courage to do or die. The gentle South Wind whispered low in a voice from far above : And I would prophesy for each a great and most abiding love. Love for each person they meet on the way, love for their fellow-men, Returning in bounty a hundred-fold to everyone of them. The East Wind then gave answer ; it seemed to chuckle with mirth : Ah, whee ! This class of ' 23 will bring a little more fun to the earth. I foretell they ' ll always find time to joke, always time to chaff ; No matter how hard tasks may be, there ' ll always be time to laugh. Ah, yes ! I ' ll prophesy for them, and I know I ' m right to say They ' ll know in their lives just how to mix with work a little play. The West Wind, who was passing, spoke with a sweet perfumed breath: I prophesy for everyone a boundless, deep, and sincere faith ; One that is great and grand enough, to offset Death ' s fierce sting; One that can move mountains, and peace to hearts most surely bring. Then the voices of the winds all ceased and a hush fell slowly down ; The prophesies echoed from the hills as the winds all settled ' round. Courage and Love, Mirth and Faith and then Victory n ' er could they miss. Voice of the Winds, God grant you ' re right; what more could men want than this? — Inez Neyland. n n n n Pago Twenty-Nine
