ffrrfaiT A BALLAD FOR ’58 (With apologies to “Casey at the Bat”) It looked extremely rocky for us Freshmen on that day Beginning tasks of learning, with just four years to play That game of knowledge which it seemed we’d never win, With all the homework, themes, and rules to become expert in. A straggling few got up to go, leaving there the rest To carry high that torch of hope with fortitude and zest. For thus we thought: if other groups have brought to our school fame, Surely, good old ’58 could easily do the same. Thus onward we fought, in our mind all the plays — Integrity, health, and ambition-filled days; And we soon found much fun in all that we struck — New friends, sports, dances — we surely had luck. Then came Senior year, the last spurt in the game, With thoughts of tomorrow — misfortune or fame. But we shall not strike out in the great game of life; With the knowledge we’ve gained, we can win any strife. So these gilded pages where our brief four years dwell Shall capture our joys and our sorrows as well. Whose fine golden hours which have now slipped away Shall guide us through life with success and fair play. Therefore, here in June when the sun shines so bright, Where the orchestra’s playing and where hearts are light, And where friendly people their good wishes shout, To that world strange and beckoning, ’58 now moves out. Jean Alden, ’58 Associate Editor
