The Launching of the “Senior ,Apolo(ic» to llrnrv W. Longfellow By Nfal Harper, '10 'Build me straight. O Worthy Master! Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel. 1 hat shall laugh at all disaster. And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!' I av by day the vessel grew, ith timbers fashioned strong and true; Common sense is made the keel. Much stronger than the strongest steel. More shapely, too, to outward view; Ribs of Latin, sides »f Greek. W hich, sheathed in Knglish, never leak. Algebra, which forms the beam, W arp proof to weight and heat and steam, Holds the deck. Geometry Secure; the deck rail History With graceful turn From bow to stern Surrounds the cabin. Chemistry. And nothing remaining But smoothing and planing, lie who listened heard clear and true The song of the Principal and his Crew: ‘Build me straight. O Worthy Master! Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel. That shall laugh at all disaster. And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!’ ’ All is finished! and at length Has come commencement day Of sunshine and of strength. I oday the “Senior” shall he launched! Her face with work and care once blanched Is bright and gay; Her dress is of a seasonable hue, A snow hite top with water line of Blue. The C entral ship yard, high in fame For launching ships of strength and size Outriding all the storms that rise. Is justly proud of work and name; And as the “Senior” slides her pin. And rolls into Life’s sunny bay, Above the splash, gay sounds, and din. She thinks she hears her Builders say: ‘‘bear not each sudden sound and shock; Tis of the wave and not the rock; ‘Tis but the flapping of the sail. And not a rent made by the gale; In spite of rock and tempest roar. In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on. nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee; ()ur hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o’er our years, Are all with thee—are all with thee!” rAGK r VKNTY-FOUR
