To The June Class of 1923 As we flounder on our way, And are weakened from dismay, When our battle seems the darkest And our goal seems off the farthest, Above we see a beacon light, Gleaming from a rugged height, And we hear a voice that's saying, As for strength we're humbly praying, 4And its message to our ears Seems to banish all our fears.i Find a way or make one And to you success will come. Heads erect and eyes upon the goal, Have faith within your weary soul For you shall never, never fail Until the cherished goal you hail With a hearty shout, and loud, As you sweep from view the cloud, With your colors flying free, You, June Class of '23.i, Chester Lafferty Class Dfficers PRESIDENT-Cleo Peterson VICE-PRESIDENT-SUZHHHC Kolhoff SECRETARY-Louise Rice TREASURER-John Fitzgerald SERCEANT-AT-ARMS-Carl Bernhardt Senior Committees ANNOUNCEMENTS: Chairman, Adrian Pierce: Rebecca Sweetland.
