THE ANNUAL At Parting Wyoming, Alma Mater dear, to you We dedicate these lines with reverence due: Here pledge fidelity and faith renewg For as we reach the zenith of our power, We hear the old clock in its ivied tower With measured strokes, foretell the part- ing hour. To us, the class of 1921 This hour belongs, for this brief space we know Supremacy-the pride in laurels won By dint of honest effortg feel the glow Of victory. The task we had begun We xiiew with pride completed now. And o! We stand at this, the parting of the ways. The four years spent beneath the White and Blue Stretch far away into the past-the days Of th h oug tful study, carefree play we B knew Or censure just must be our rightful due. elong to memory 5 and well-earned praise Yet, conscious that we did our best, we stand ggtlgeeyih uplifted to a freshening dawn, e irected toward a promised land Where bright ambition lures us on and on To cross our swords with life. A spirit fanned By youth's impatience bids us to be gone, 22 But still we hesitate-not joy alone Attends this hour-there come unbidden tears, In all this joyous melody, a tone Of sadness and solemnity appears. Will this deep vision and resolve we own Remain untarnished by the passing years? Will all we learned beneath the White and Blue Be carried with us on our future way? Will we forget the kindly care we knew, The debt beyond our power to repay? Ch no! To Alma Mater we'll be true, And so we put all lesser claims away. Then hear our prayer-may grace be giv'n that we Continue a career so well begun With service, selflessness, sincerity Our guiding stars. Grant, too, that every one Such kcredit bring Wyoming's name that s e May claim with pride her class of '2l. And so, our Alma Mater dear, to you We dedicate our lives with reverence due, Here pledge fidelity and faith renew 3 For even at the zenith of our power, Behold! the old clock in its ivied tower s slowly striking this-our parting hour.
