A TRIBUTE T I. You stand near the crest of the bluff; and below it The muddy Missouri swirls ruthless and free. Behind you the hills gently slope to the valley Where once rolled the Kaw on its way to the sea. II. Four swift years have passed us and left deep soul-tracings Since timid, yet eager, we entered thy halls. Each day brought its knowledge of life’s dross and life’s treasures Which lightly we culled o’er within thy dear walls. III. Days when the signal bell sounded its warning To mix in the chatter in hallways, on stairs; Days when our friends and our schoolmates around us Had like tasks, diversions, and youth’s wilful cares. IV. Now at the end of our course we arc pausing Yet a moment, to ponder what strength we have won; What power you’ve given; what light you’ve thrown o’er us; What knowledge of deeds which earth’s noblest have done. O CENTRAL 17 V. Just as one near who looks up at thy steeple Which silent and massive points to guerdon and crown; He feels not its strength and he grasps not its message As might one afar who peers over the town. VI. So will each if he tries while he’s with you to reckon How greatly thy power has strengthened his mind. Think of classroom routine and the labor of lessons And but lightly appraise, ’till thou'rt left far behind. VII. A moment wc pause from our work to salute you; To write you on leaving one last farewell line; To say that one rose in the garden of memory Will, dear old Central, forever be thine. VIII. All soon we shall enter the trial of life’s morning. Our steps toward life’s noon and the sunset beyond : Our thoughts on life’s promise, our hopes in its triumphs Yet bearing away with us memories fond. — Bkatkicf Hill, ’07.
