ELI-ISS PUEM WE GRADUATES I From classrooms and study halls We sally forth on every hand, Forsaking learning's sturdy walls. The sons cmd daughters of our land. II Into a troubled land we come Where joy is joined with stress and strife: Clear eyed and unafraid we come Eager with hope, in love with life. III God grant that our endless faith As on the threshold thus we stand. Will sustain our unfaltering aims To build a better land. Augustus Barnes CLASS PIIEM DREAMS OF THE PAST When our youth has fled and we are old. We shall look back on days long past When friends and school brought joys untold, And school dreams were things our hearts held fast. Perhaps we'1l shed some foolish tears, And feel a sad regret or two For all those joyful, but vanished yesteryears And happy school days that once we knew. Perhaps when time has had its way. And youth has hurried past our door, Love for our school shall ne'er decay, We'll be dreaming of our school days more and more. Augustus Barnes Page Seventy-seven
