1923 ¥ CLASS POEM “Farewell.” Classmates with whom our lives have run A peaceful round from day to day How little has our speech begun, Our deepest feelings to betray. Dear teachers all—we’ll ne’er forget Your kindly help in daily work; Your patience when the goal was set, In aiding us no task to shirk. The heights of knowledge we have scaled, The way has oft seemed steep and rough, The summit gained—we never failed To see another still more tough. We all shall keep the mem’ries dear Of joyous times along our way, When we no future task did fear, Nor had a dread of any day. Now comes the parting of the ways, When we must walk in paths untried; But visions of these happy days Will evermore with us abide. “To be, rather than seem to be”, Will be our motto thru the years Until at last success we see, Which puts an end to all our fears. We’ve meant no deed or word unkind, And now all that is left to tell To those dear friends we leave behind Is just this one fond word, “farewell.” —Marie Fleisher
