QL. L- X T0 THE SENIORS OF '25 Come, come, all ye whose hearts are set On this, the weary Present, to forget, Come, where the Future's softening beam Slowly begins its awakening gleam, Come, see the things for which you long, And hear the echo of your triumph song. Dreams that haunted us come no more, Dread visions have all passed awayg For we have passed out the open door, And are free, forever and a day. Those four years flit by as a dream, Lighted by Knoyvledges steady beam, For some the way has been hard and long, For many it has been one short, sweet song. Memories we cherish, and hold dear, Come floating in a varied throng, I Of the events of a gone-by year, And of the days we would like to prolong. But of all this 'tis said, lt has been, It has been, and will never be againg XVe may remember, but we must still pursue Our course, and begin to live Life anew. Though we begin anew, let us cling fast To the lessons the High has taught us, The cardinal virtues, and others that last, And in our struggle we will be victorious. The time draws nigh, and we must part.,w N Our place to take in the crowded mart, But it is with a full and aching heart WVe tread the trails that lead us apart. The '25 Cardinal

Z 4 G Qi .- - - Visions that were distant loom near, Sweet dreams hll our hearts with joyg Every thought is of the love and cheer That we are now free to fuller enjoy. Our thoughts are wont to rise and reach Far beyond the narrow, crowded beach, That, sloping down to a visionary sea, Stopped many not so venturesome as we. But out in the flowing tide of Life, And wherever our many paths may end, In the days of sunshine and of strife, May we to each other remain a friend. Though rough the path, andsteep the way, That leads us far from the sordid fray, The thoughts of things that were before Will keep us true, 'til Life is o'er. VVhile passing on in Lifels ebbing tide, And even now, in the Hower of youth, May we, as we struggle side by side, Ever reach the Golden Sands of Truth. Healing Time will soothe our heartache, Forgetiulness all our sorrows quake: But in every heart there will be awake Memories, each future joy to partake. At last we see the Future, full and bright Rising from shadows, darker than nightg 1 VVe've struggled hard, we've won our light. Our goal is near, the call is clear, O God, with Thy help we can respond With not a tear, and never a fear, Wfhen we draw close to the Great Beyond, 39 The ,25 Cardinal
