 1923 — The Bethannual — 1923 iiiiiiiimiiiiiitiHiimi iimisimii'iioiiiiiiMiiiiiimiiminiciiiiiMiBiiaiiuiiiiiiiitiiriiimaiimiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiimiinini iinimiriiii Our Class Adviser To Henry C. Wingblade To you, dear friend, I dedicate this space: To you, whom all the Seniors learned to love; To you, whose personality and race Has shown reflected, that of Christ above. To you, dear friend, this little verse I write With greetings from the class of twenty-three. To bring this message is my great delight; Accept our kindest wish, we beg oi thee. When years have gone, we shall remember you: And, wiser grown, look back upon these days And sec our faults, and note how wisely you Did steer us right upon our varied ways. You showed to all a kindly sympathy. And patiently have helped us in our work; But you, severe and strict at times could be. When we were lazy and did naught but shirk. Where is the man w!k without firmness horn Could learn to rule a state, could rule himself? There is no such, no weakling ever born Could confidence inspire, he lacked himself. We students have had confidence in you. And though at times we have unruly been Have only had respect and love for you, And gladly did submit to discipline. Whatever you in days gone by have thought. Whatever may have passed within your mind. About these boys and girls which you have taught. Fear not for them, their hearts arc true, and kind. If ever you should think your work in vain, Dismiss that thought, I say it is not true! And I would now proclaim with might and main. We arc just what we arc, because of you. And row to you this message I would leave. Accept our kindest wishes and our love; And deep down in your Iteart of hearts receive God’s solemn benediction from above. —Rudolph Dahlquist. Page 32
