FOR IT ' S YOUTH By Rosalynn Henricks The rain beats hard on the old brick wall , The winds shout their jury; And the sleet and the ice cling With tentacles bare While the wild Winter Maiden Strokes the snow from her hair, And with her white fingers Smoothes the cold ground Around the ivy ' s roots. But still it clings and climbs. Life ' s trials beat hard upon the heart Of hopeful, happy Youth; And Winter ' s Death, awakened Reality bare, Steals softly into flaming Youth And challenges Despair I But determined — for it ' s Youth, And gay — for it ' s Youth, And confident — like the ivy Unbeaten Youth still climbs. Etched deep in the memories of the Class of ' 46 will be our senior year, especially the traditional Ivy Day ceremony which opened the pageantry of senior activities. We ' ll recall the confidence we felt when our class was together for the first time, and that surge of pride when we watched Class President George Young plant the ivy, realizing that our class, too, was joining the cavalcade of more than 10,000 seniors who have left their markers by the old ivy-covered building. We ' ll smile when we remember the individuality of our class — holding the Ivy Day ceremony outside in- stead of in the auditorium — replacing long ribbon streamers with short lapel knots in red and white, our class colors. And we ' ll treasure the arm-bands designed by Harold Einmick and the Ivy Day poem written by Rosalynn Henricks. We won ' t forget, either, the smug pleasure at attending the Ivy Day and Christmas dances in the girls ' gymnasium after having hung over the balcony railing enviously watching three other senior classes. And we ' ll remember looking forward to our own Class Day, held May 16, which made that day and this year really ours. It was all fun, but we ' ll remember, too, the uncertainty we felt as we thought of leaving school forever, and the sudden poignant desire to be entering the doors of Manual again as freshmen instead of whispering goodbye. And, most of all, we ' ll repeat our heartfelt wish that the Class of ' 46 will have contributed something to the credit of our school in return for the years of happiness she has given us.
