THE WIT A N COMMENCEMENT SONG .. ... ........ The years have numbered only four Since first we gained thy portal— But four, and thou hast left to us An heritage immortal; For here we learned not only facts Close bound by rules and study, We entered in thy healthful sports, And we grew strong and ruddy. We learned not only narrow laws To train alone our talents, To counsel us for Life’s real school Our tasks were made to balance. Ah! Classmates, not the stinted view, The statement narrow-minded— Life wants not him who stands aloof Wit prejudices blinded. But Life does want the character With grit and strength anil vision; Who laughs at wit with other men, But laughs above derision; A man not limited to rote Or formula or table, But who can estimate his world With judgment sound and stable. These are the traits we should have gained, As well as wit and learning— These have we gained, so 1 believe, As on Life’s road we're turning; And since we have, we may well know' Where’er we cast our lot, Wc owe success and future fame To thee, our school, Charlotte. Lyman H. Butterfield, Class I’oet. 23
