Great i'faith as the rocks of Gibraltar, stands firm, Roaring breakers of doubt lash the rocks that are stern, Receding are nursed by fidelity's charm, By motherly care shields the world from all harm. -Edna Patterson. Ambition sails over the gulf of despair, The winds of Aeolus rush forth from his lair, But honor as Neptune, his trident extends, And quiets the waves of the world he befriends. -David Gilmer. O. 'ipeace wafted forth as the fragrance of flowers, As dew drops of nectar which pacify powersg The world seeks the portals of tribunals when The angels sing, Peace on earth, good will to men. -Koneta Stewart. Again we must pause before 'ieloquencen rare The thoughts of the world crown him Prince of the Airg As the sound waves of wisdom re-echoing weaves, The Sibyl records on her decalogue leaves. -Irvin Harrod. Lo! sympathy springs from her portals of gold, Spraying virtuous rrist over pietys fold, Changing sadness and gloom into heavenly bliss, Then halcyon world smiles o'er Time's great abyss. -Winona Fasig. The clouds and their Monarch are liberty7s realm, The winds waft his Standard while he guides the helm, Of the world while she conquers and frees the oppressed, And Mercury proclaims mankind has been blest. -Arthur Hayes. O, purity in quest of our Lords Holy Grail. In your armor of virtue, Omnipotent mail, Purifying the world like snow-flakes of heaven, With the cup that was sought and at last truly given. -Ruth McMillin. On the prow of Olympus, O, i'justice most just, With the balance of honor Zeus placed in your trust, The world seeks the grotto, Apollols tripod, And the oracle murmers at Pythia's nod. -Harry Gossard. O, wisdom the goddess Minerva, unveils, The Niobe of knowledge, all ignorance assailsg A Beacon o'er earth as Strombolia o'er sea, The light of the world by Aurora's decree. -Viola Games. Hail! 'iProdigy, hail! strike the lyre of Apollo, Charming goddess Diana's dancing chorus that follow, Like Orpheus or David plays mysteries strings, Playing lays for the Shepherds and anthems to Kings. -Floyd Barnett. The gods cry nobility through the vast multiverse, The Messiah of wisdom, of knoweledge and verse, Eclipsing the Muses, whom Homer of old, Predicted the Twentieth Century 'd unfold. -Eldon Butfenbarger. Now lift the anchor Captain and bid the ship departg The farewell scene of parting brings sadness to the heart. Cheer up my mates, and hoist the Hag, The Chocolate and Gold Above the mast where duty calls, our standard should un- fold. The ship is bearing leeward, the harbor lost from sight, The Albitross of trust by day, St. Elmos' fires by night, As a guarding spirit hovers above the briny waves, The ship sails on, the storm of life our Captain boldly braves. Sail on! Sail on! O ship of life, o'er life's unwonten sea, We hail Thee! Mighty Captain, of all eternity, O bid Saint Peter hold the keys, who sits upon the throne, To welcome us, Class of '14, when we come sailing home.

be rabuatee CLASS POEM BY ELDON R. BUFFENBARGER The time has come when, for the voyage of life we launch our ships, Our High School days have been the docks of Hope's adorn- ing gifts: The heirloom doubt and fear, despair and gloom galore Were handed us but we refused the treasure we abhor. Our aims and high ambitions. our noble guests of life- So pull the anchor, Captain, and spread the sails for strife, The elements may batter them, the ship of life may wreck, But, first embark and view the crew, who tarry on the deck. There dignity sits like a statue of Greece, His brow prone with thought that will ever increaseg The world will resound with his glorious fame. And monarchs pay tribute to dignity's name. -Harry Howell. Now modesty poise beneath nature's brow, ' With the mantle of fame which the world doth endowg Thus down through the corridors of endless degrees, With the Bachelors of Art and LLD's -'Orville Rapp. O, truth lavished forth from the trumpet of Pun. The world crowns with laurels your life through a span: Thus falling like dewdrops of infinite love, To replenish the rites on the altars of Jove. -Dora Horn. We know him as Hhonor of fame and renown, Through the world, among nations his name will resound He glearns forth untarnished, serene and sublime, When carved on the hearts by the sand-blasts of time. -Charles Stewart. ' We hail! O, Dan Cupid, the goddess of love, On an eminent throne as the starlight above: Shining over the world, dropping meteors of joy. From the depths of her bosom all hate to destroy. -Lulah Sanders. The world glides around on the pinions of hope, On a mountain of doubt, he surveys the vast scopeg He holds forth his scepter, bids destiny Hee. By breaking the chains of the fates by llvcree. -Lonnie Musser.

You must not use big words as long as We are seniors. When you are accused of anything, sit up straight and bear it like a soldier. Do not argue. And for your own dear sakes do not allow a pony to carry you to the Physics class, for there will always be kick- ing. The girls of the senior class advise the girls of the jun- ior class to take Civics instead of Agriculture. When you get stuck in Latin, always call on Shavey- He is ever ready to help the afflicted. Do not make fun of the freshies, but help them on their hard path as We have always done. Do not stick gum all over the desks and throw fine pa- per on the floor, for the janitor says he does not like it. You know we never did. Do not go to sleep in the Physics class for you will get a zero. On Monday mornings show the teachers you have good lessons, even if you were up late the night before. Love one another and you will always keep together. Never whisper except when the teacher's back is turned. Always honor the colors of the Wayne High. Encourage all athletic sports. Don't be a pessirnist. Look on the sunny side of life.
