Class The time has fled, the year is gone, The end is drawing nigh. Dear friends, we meet with you to-night To say a fond good-bye. With memories dear we leave this school, We ' ll ne ' er forget so soon. We ' ll think of it in later days At every changing moon. Five years ago, a band of us First saw t his campus green. Its stately elms, its velvet turf, A dream to us when seen. We started on the road to Fame, That path so long and steep. We bravely climbed each mighty hill And crossed each hollow deep. The year was o ' er, we left for home. Three months of respite gained. And came again at autumn-time. With high ideals untamed. Once more we started on the road, The goal before our eyes. With help and counsel, brave and true, We climbed on to the skies. Then suddenly behind a cliff . An army came to view. We challenged them if they were friends. They said, We ' ve ambushed you. ' ■We are the mighty Latin hosts. Who conquer in each fight. You too, we ' ll harass, till some day You ' ll leave in shameful flight. They kept their word, with weapons true, They fell upon our rear. But though they fought, as brave men should. We did not have to fear. For was not faith the helmet strong? Was courage not the shield? Was strength not there, that trusty spear. To save us in the field? Poem Another year of toil was o ' er. We went home for a rest. We needed it, and in the fall The strife was full of zest. For mighty bands of Greeks now warred To wipe us off the earth. Led by their mighty Xenophon, They soon found out our worth. For fight we would, and tight we could In heat and wintry cold. We kept right on, our goal in view. Brave, confident and bold. For two more years we fought these foes. These two big, wily hosts. The Greeks and Latins fought with zeal And filled the air with boasts. And now to-night we ' ve reached cur goal. We stand at portals wide. Behind us lies a cherished past. In front the morning-tide. The morning-tide of faith and love Will make our foot-steps strong. The sun of hope will be our guide. Will lead us all life long. And now in close, we iiray Thee God, As thou hast taught us pray. Shield thou the teachers, v. ' ho have taught Us lessons day by day. Shield thou our comrades, who are left To carry on their strife. Their cause is ours, for them we pray, Protect them all their life. Oh, Blmhurst, Elmhurst, now we leave. We ' ve conquered in thy name. Long may you thrive ' Long be thy life! Long may endure thy fame! P. C. Knickek. Class of ' 19. Prtfii- lit
