The Cowan Mirror SCHOOL DAYS Again the days have rolled along. Another year must end. The Class will leave the old high school Where twelve years they have spent. Where each and all have done Something worth while and new. Now each must put forth that effort As they go into the world to do. As we look back we find days — Some were dreary, long and sad, But those are easily outnumbered With the golden days we have had. Though we sometimes grew weary As the games were won and lost, At the end let’s stop and think Which really is worth the most: To play with our rival school-team With good spirit and friendly hand, With best efforts, honorably win, Or lose the game like a man? Class, you have all put forth A wonderful record this year. If the next class can keep it, We will realize that victory is near. Your class has brought to us A wonderful basketball team — It was said they could not be defeated, Though they lost at last, is seems. That isn’t all of the honors Coming with the Class of Twenty-seven; Your President won honors in Latin, Though with studies he was laden. I cannot take time to mention all, For I haven’t time nor room. You’ve been like a little bud, opening. And it took you twelve years to bloom. The girls of your class are friendly To all girls in classes below, And we hope this has been established So it will stay as you go. As in games the boys were victorious, The beauty-prize won by the girls, Just start this old world singing, Just start it on with a whirl. Class, you’ll soon be done with physics. And the bookkeeping will be through; And without the errors in typing You’ll be starting over anew. Then next year another class Will step in to take your place; They’ll find you have all worked And have honorably won the race. Wherever you go, leave the record Of work you’ve honorably done; Let them see it’s the way you conquered, The best way the race can be won. Just put forth the very best efforts, No matter where, or what you do — In the end the old world will settle And bring back the best to you. Edith M. Abrell.
