J { t 66' 9? 1920 STAFF POEM “MY STAR All that I know of a certain star, Is that it can present from afar First the face of one, Then the face of many, Until people have said they would fain he too A member of that star with banners so true. Then they pause as the star draws near, For on it they read with hearts of good cheer, Members of the Illume High Staff, Farewell, our days with thee are past. With apologies to Browning— When the hall is still and the seats are empty, Then think of the dear old class of ’20, Who meant no harm by their noisy jokes Xor wished to hinder others from getting their cloaks. One last look at the mirror there To powder one's nose and adjust one’s hair. Each boy stood back and looked up high To loosen his collar and fix his tie. As we regretfully left you, Dear Blumc Hi. The clock on the wall ticks its faithful song, As those we've left work merrily on. The winding stairs we will gradually mount Through sincere efforts, which always count. And if fame and fortune come our way We’ll not fail to think of you on that day. Each must sometime attain his dream As we “Row, Xot Drift in the big world’s scheme. Although our goal is very high, We will always think of you, Dear Blume Hi. GERTRUDE VEIT. 8
