C LASS POEM As a crimson, dauntless banner Flaunts beneath a frowning sky, We go forth into the battle, Our hopes, our faith, our spirits high. As the shadows twist and lengthen, Where they creep upon the earth, We shall strive to win protection For this fair land of our birth. As we stumble through the darkness, Though rough and drear the way, We know that stormy skies will brighten, To bring forth a better day. As the farmer reaps his harvest From the bounty of his field, So may we be rich rewarded In the fruits that full lives yield. Prepare, go forth, be not afraid, Oh, class of forty'four. Today we strive, tomorrow comes The peace that follows war. — Virginia Fieldstad [29]
