ECHO PAGE 10 YEAR 1929 SENIOR CLASS POEM The curtain closes on four years well spent All mingled with our cares, joys, and regrets, And we in pausing, rent the veil that bars our vision of the past And thus called back, we live again each era past. Act One—from out dark halls of memory we call Days of childish joys and doubts Where upperclassmen were wise sages—learned and skilled. Just one command, our worlds turned as they willed; All life seemed one wide, wandering way Where one could work, be sad, be gay. Act Two—then finds us one year older and more wise. We have more zest to gain the upward flight; We linger not so long by wayside flowers, And realize time passes on unheeded with most precious hours. Thus with high hopes of greater things We take just one step further up Life’s way. And the actors of Act Three appear. We find those treasured hopes for which we strive draw near— One mile ahead there’s all we hoped to gain Where we—king of our destinies—might reign. So wisely do we pass along this road of Life With hopes to be a figure in its strife. Act Four—holds all the glory of a rising sun. We see our destination ’ere it’s won, And here we leave the foot-marked path wherein four years have passed, And turn to seek a broader, newer field—more vast. Courageously we take from our Fate’s hands—the hate—the love—the joy and the despair— The good—the bad—all this Life’s share, And with a vauntless courage take our lives To carry on to sightless heights or sink downtrodden, hopeless to the mire. And so the closing curtain leaves us there. No more is seen upon this stage; Henceforth, each one presents alone his play— It may be comedy—It may be cold, dark tragedy Who shall say? —Agnes Matins.
