A shining mist hangs o ' er the road before, We cannot pierce its glorious mystery. We know together lie our ways no more And on our hearts a chill of sadness falls. Then hope weaves visions fair of what may be And life seems bitter-sweet — the unknown calls. For one to halls of fame the path may lead, For one the road to gloomier ways may turn, But all will cherish memories sweet indeed. Ah yes, whatever fate we each may see, Come dark — come light, thro ' life our hearts shall burn With love — Oh Alma Mater dear — for thee. Thy memories pure the fleeting years shall bring, And though our senses dull should be, thy call Not to live only, but live well shall ring. Oh may the One who holds us in His hand Grant that this noble standard never fall, And Well done may the final record stand ! Caroline Van Note Gowdy. 29

Class poem With flying feet the years have sped away, And carried us along the road of life. All sunshine seems the way we ' ve come to-day, The echoes of our laughter float along, While happy voices clear and free from strife Call gaily back to us their sweetest song. For now time at the cross-roads seems to wait And bids us linger o ' er that road so fair. What brighter pathway could we ask of fate ! So sheltered and so dear its winding lies, So shadowed o ' er with love and gentle care, Our hearts turn back, our careless laughter dies. Then voices that we love call tenderly, That sheltered path again you cannot tread, To-day life ' s broader, rougher way you see. On all things lovely, pure keep heart and will, With courage forward go — and not with dread, For God ' s great love shall be your shelter still. 28
