22 THE CUCKOO Roosevelt is gone but America need not be without his worthy successor. He had little or nothing that others may not have. What a fine tiling it would he if the young men throughout the nation which he loved and served so well, should equip themselves with the same potent qualities. If the real meaning of Roosevelt’s life shall be fully appreciated we shall find in the coming generation a veritable race of moral giants to whom the name of patriot can truthfully apply in its largest sense. CLASS POEM f2t Four years have passed since first we met In dear “Old Dowingtown High,”— Years that we shall never forget While memory brings it nigh. The day draws near when we must part, Our class relations sever, To pass to higher plains of work, With highest and best endeavor. Idle have not been our years. Nor vain our ceaseless care, We labored with bright hopes and fears, And success is our to declare. Our lives are just beginning now, For the largest fields of life, Hut, we ll make success, we know not how, In the world in all its’ strife. We have not labored all in vain, To attain our highest aim, For the best of work will always remain, With us forever and ever. Let us press up and on with fervor, With each defeat the greater to strife, For fame comes only by hard endeavor And thus to future honor we may arrive. And when we re weary from burdens of care, Let us recall the days long passed, It may comfort, help us, fill us with cheer To think again of our dear class. Can you stand, as firm as any rock? Can you conquer with the few? Then the world is waiting for you. Classmates, The world is waiting for you ! —Gladys M. Crisman, ’21

We’ve had good times within your walls, old I). H. S. We’ve made good friends and studied some since we entered your doors as Freshmen four years ago. Now the time has come to part and we must sadly bid our friends farewell, but yet let it not be “farewell” hut rather “an revoir.” As we journey through life we must not forget old I). H. S. but love and reverence her. So again let us bid each other “au revoir.” au revoir.
