Class Poem, 1905 I. Another epoch of our lives is past; Four shifting years in slipping by so fast Have left us halting on a threshold hare, Which we must cross—and vet we linger there To view the years. II. We linger there for one more backward glance Familiar scenes we see as in a trance. They glide in swift succession past our sight— We gaze upon them with a strange delight And hidden tears. III. A face—another—now still others rise Before our dreamy, retrospective eyes. These are the faculty, to whom we owe All that we know and all we ought to know. (They did their best.) IV. The rooms we know so well—each wide, cool hall The merry groups of friends—we see them all, And then the great assembly and long files Of merry students trooping down the aisles Writh eager zest. V. A burst of song swells out, so clear and round. It has an old and most familiar sound. We hear the strain, so resonant and strong— It is our loyal “Alma Mater” song, Borne on the air. VI. And now the years have passed and slipped away. We would not call them back. We would only say— We’ll make the coming years all brave and true Because we’ve spent a pleasant youth with you, O, Mother fair. VII. Your hand in blessing on our heads is placed; You wish success for all; of joys, a taste. And we—we wish the best of love and fame To ever gather round your worthy name And with you dwell. VIII. No longer may we tarry here, although We dread this final parting. We must go On out to meet our failures and success. Goodbye—and fare thee well, dear E. H. S. Yes, fare thee well. —■Ruth Jennings, '05.
