SENIOR FAREWELL FOUR years ago upon thy threshold stood The class of niiieteen-ten. Expectant, eager, for to solve, The mysteries within. The path seemed rugged, long and dreary. The future far away When we should grasp the mystery And give our fancy play. But thru the years of toil and strife. You ' d hear the famous cry. On, Classmates, on. To conquer or to die. The years too quickly all have flown. And seniors now we stand Around the scenes we love so dear, A happy, loyal, band. But at the thot of parting. Within our hearts their dwells A tingling of sadness For we must say farewell. To thee professors kind and true. Our homage now we pay. For clearer light and holier thot Upon our pathway ]50ured. Our hopes, our aims, our all to thee we owe, For patience, kindness, and thy love. We fain would thank you well. But linger longer, we cannot For we must say farewell. Farewell, dear Susquehanna, With thy halls of classic faine Thy broad and rolling campus Shall dear to us remain. The trees, so stately, tall, and fair. The court and diamond too Are places that we love so well, But time has come for us to go i nd we must say farewell. Farewell you old familiar hills. And groves of brightest hues. Your murmuring brooks and babbling rills, Shall turn our thots to you. When out of the far off distance Our thots upon you dwell. Perhaps in joy and sadness We ' ll recall our last farewell. Farewell my dear old classmates, Farewell perhaps for aye Tho in sorrow we are parting. We shall meet another day. When the toils of life are over, And to earth we bid adieu May the Master bid you welcome. Far bovond the starry blue. Till then: farewell, farewell. POET.
