Class Poem I. Softly the gentle summer breeze O'er the verdant fields doth blow, No more we think of winter's freeze, And of ice nor drifting snow. Bright shines the sun, the flowers bloom, And sweetly perfume the balmy air, There is no thought of winter s gloom, The joy of youth is everywhere. II. Eleven long years of joy we've had In learning, playing and in strife, Nothing too hard, nothing sad Has marred this summer of our life. The flowers of learning decked our way, Waiting the grasp of youthful hand, Working and toiling day by day, Happy victors now we stand. III. Winter comes with ice and snow, Flowers die, and birds no more Sing sweet songs. The breezes blow No longer oler green flelds but roar A song of gloom through lifeless trees. Thus 'tis with us as we depart From school days dear and hours of peace, From mates and friends so near the heart. IV. Yet though we feel the wintry gloom- As we leave our friends so dear, The bud of hope foretells the bloom Of future flower, so bright and rare, For from this sad hour when we part We begin the Spring of lifeg From now we only make the start To greater, grander. nobler strife. By JOHN W. CARR, Class Poet 15
