Senior Class Poem The Iasi glad year of happy college days Rolls to its close. The maze Of our unknown career Spreads in a mist that wakens in us fear— Not cowardly, but that we feel the dear Responsibility Which all the Mother's training makes in us to be. We pause awhile and yet once more survey The joyous scenes which lay Along our course. We see Again the acts of college comedy— Droll happenings, and jokes from hearts carefree. We also feel again The little tear-fraught tragedies, which made us men. We stand upon life’s threshold to decide The course where shall be tried What fire burns in each soul. We feel the future’s in our own control. And all our tasks shall point a flying goal. We shall be scattered far. Our ranks be broken, but we follow all one star. ’Tis truth, which. Alma Mater, thou hast taught And planted in our thought. We therefore pledge anew To thee ’’our love, our life in all we do. As sons of thine, thy loyal sons and true. Soon to be from thee far— The Class of nineteen-thirteen bids thee au revoir. Geo. W. Cox.
