THE KETItOSI'ECT-MA'MR HI OH SCHOOL 9 ••• ♦ ♦ ••• ♦ • ••• •••■«. ♦ Senior Class Poem It was in September of the year of 14 Our class in the lirst year could be seen Assembled in classes for the four years long, Ready to correct our hopeful wrongs. e started out in the Boat of Life I o sail a new course—we knew no strife. It reeled and puffed before we sailed long For our lack of Memory was far too strong. But lo! the gale turned and on we sailed The heart of the Second year then prevailed. e stopped at no port along the way. But worked with confidence light and gay, Struggling with lasting temptations to retreat But we glided on with a speed light and fleet. The stars shining over us awoke us from sleep. And into the I bird year we were given a peep. In these waters we met rocks of monstrous size, 1 rouble and pain that we all despise Surged in the waves that shook the boat. And to return home we all were loath. W hen the wind turned and blew from the West It blew great tasks with which we were blest, lint we were instructed with the best of skill Our ability was gaining, it did not seem real. One day thru a storm-cloud the sun shone bright It changed our position, our last year was in sight. Our kourth year was met with a spirit of content. Happy were the hours that we then spent Land was in sight when we looked to the South It looked familiar—it was Cape Lookout. ( ur captain turned to the land with great speed. W e met 14 companions who were in need. Of one more year to complete their course— 1 hey were added to our company—there were 62 of us ( ur boat was in the crew s control W'e beamed with a happiness all aglow. But our tasks were many and the time was short, kor before long we were to land at a port. ( ur goal to be reached was Cape Success And with great honors we were to be blest. Alas! we have landed—our journey is done. | )ur aim was set and now its won. 1 he days have passed and now we are sad To h ave our boat for the Future ahead. I o leave our dear crew who with patience strived Accompanying us with labors and with pride. So parting we leave with a long sigh Happy were the days we spent at Blnme High! SUSAX MERTZ.
