Cfhe Seniors o 1919. (Written and read for Junior Prom by Dorothy Mills, Sophomore “A”) With the Springtime comes the flowers and the blossoms on the trees, Comes the singing of the mocking birds and buzzing of the bees. Comes the time for graduation with the Seniors glad and light In subdued anticipation of your graduation night. After four long years of labor, after barriers overcome, You, at last, are drawing near to your life work, just begun. Midst your joy, however pleasing, there is mingled some regret. For the chums and friends you part with whom at Denton High you’ve met; For the teachers, you respect them, ay, and love them even more Than the hopes and high ambitions that are knocking at your door. But your grief is deeply hidden, hidden from the outward eye, For your love is deeply rooted and it’s flame shall never die. It resembles the tall oak tree with its far out-reaching arms Which withstand the heat and coldness, draughts, and snows and rain and storms. ’ For its roots are deeply planted and are nursed in Nature’s way. And its life is everlasting and it never shall decay; So your grief has found concealment in your joy and in your love Of your High School chums and classmates, and no matter where you roam You will feel a wistful longing for your gay school days of yore.

And for your friends that you have loved so well—you’ll name them o’er and o’er; Now corns the time for retrospection, and you Seniors ponder long; Now comes the time for due reflection on the past, the right and wrong. For you see back in the distance one small spot of brightest green, That spot was a verdant Freshman when at High School first you were seen. Sad? Yes. sad, but still there’s gladness when you think how it has changed From a spot of bright green color to a richer shade ’tis stained. Sad, to think, oft as a Freshman you were caught at writing notes And again as a wise Sophomore you were caught despite your boasts; Sad, to think, how pure deceitful were your vast attempts to talk When the teacher’s back was toward you, or at least that’s what you thought. And ’tis sad to think how often Justice plays the leading part In the life of every Junior—he thinks cupid’s lost his dart. Such is the High School life, and Seniors lives are but devoid of ease. For you must work much the harder still to keep from making D’s. Now your thoughts are concentrated on the future—not the past, And of your many happy school days, these, here, may be your last; But weary not, nor stay not, ’tis the morning of your life; ’Tis the springtime of your high ambitions, hopes, and joys and strife. So happiness and peacefulness, may you have and may you hold Of success, of joy, contentment, may you have a wealth untold. —DOROTHY MILLS. H. 9.
