The Passing of The Seniors As at Ur close of a mild day in summer ■Westward at eve draws the sun in its course; Lingers and glows, in the vast ness surrounding Sinks to the depths us by unknown force. So do the Seniors look back o’er the journey. Eager, yet pausing reluctant to part; Viewing those scenes w; have all loved so dearly. Where lives true friendship which comes from the heart. Here through the long years of trial and of pleasure, Smoothly, each pathway lias run side by side. Sadly we think that on almost the morrow Time shall have borne us far past the divide. Yet a few days ‘ere the stern winds of fortune. Sweeping the same bearing gladness or pain. Dij»s at tin- close of our one last endeavor Scatters this class o’er that unknown plain. Year after year have we striven to attain them, Ueigths we have cherished when low on the sands; Now does the jewel as each morn brings it nearer Turn but to stone as wc stretch forth our hands. Surely ’tis right that these thoughts should assail us Cause us to muse when the night shadows low; Earth has no joys like to these swiftly fading. May we appreciate all as we go. Hut when before us the way stands out clearly Why should we ponder 01 dangerously halt; Millions have fallen through procrastination. Lot’s wife was turned to a pillar of salt. So as each turns to some task ’mid the tumult, Let all remember that victory in life Does not consist of a mountain of splendor This turns to dust at the end of the strife. He is successful who helps bear some burden, Bending low catches .some wounded heart’s truth; Seeks to be thankful for each kindness given Still loves the ways and the friends of his youth. And after parting, still may we united Live once again all these «lays as they pass. Fondly those memories shall hind us. remind us, Keep through all time our beloved Senior ('lass. CARLISLE BIGGER,
