---i- 'f f -osooft fvei --Q- UN DERCLASS I-'OEM We want to wish the best of luck To those who graduate this year That they may never run amuck And that a straight course they may steer And when we,re back again next fall Breaking our well meant resolutions To study hard and learn it all They'll he at other institutions. But wc know they'll not forget This grand old place they've left behind And we,d be willing to make a bet That these haughty seniors soon will find That we are better off than they And they would like to trade us places Cause you just wait and see, someday Theyill he back hunting familiar faces. HOPE When the master asks a question And I know I canlt reply, Then he looks around the classroom With a sly look in his eye. I try to hide behind some back, The result, it is the same, For when the master calls someone It always is my name. GRIM AUTHORITY I-lis jaw is set, his features grimg About him gather his chosen kin. His sweeping gaze, oft' trembling lip As when his ire, gains greater grip. The purest white sit in his half, But e'er a slip brings on the wrath. His slave bell tolls oft' in the day, And woe betide the tardy fray. His surly grin midst favored few Will turn to frown on 'forethought true But 'neath it all, faced as it were With justice harshg we call him Sir. T643

19---E ------------- - 0 5 0 G A ------ -- ------- --34 TI-IE MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE AT GETTYSBURG FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the ninth president to speak at the Memorial Day service at Gettysburg. Speak- ing from almost the same spot as Lincoln, he delivered what is considered by many to be the best of all the Memorial Day speeches. He paid reverence to those who had fought and died here so that the nation might live. Mr. Roosevelt is the first Democratic president to speak at Gettysburg since Woodrow Wilson. He, in coming to Get- tysburg, followed an example set by President McKinley. Since McKinley, every president has spoken at Gettysburg. Lincoln was the first president to speak here. About twenty- five years ago, it was decided that it would be a fitting thing to carry on this precedent and have the presidents speak at Me- morial Day services at Gettysburg. A record breaking crowd gathered to hear Mr. Roosevelt pay tribute to those who had made the supreme sacrifice. At the service at the National Cemetery, first the crowd was led in the singing of America, then a prayer was offered. Following this, Lincoln,s Gettysburg Address was read. Mr. Roosevelt's stirring address followed this reading. The service was closed by the benediction. An elaborate parade preceded President Roosevelt,s address. This was probably the greatest parade Gettysburg has seen in many years. The parade was strictly military and carried the minds of many back to the days of encampment at Gettysburg. The parade left the square and proceeded directly to the National Cemetery where the service was held. First in the parade came the President who had motored from Washington that morning. He was followed by some of the fast dwindling ranks of those who took part in the Civil War. There were also a very few of those who had heard Lincoln in 1863. These few were honored by being invited to sit on the platform with Mr. Roosevelt. The entire Carlisle Medical Corps, which attended the serv- ice in a body, was next in line. They were followed by a detachment of Pennsylvania National Guard led by Lieutenant Governor Shannon. These splendidly drilled groups were followed by many battalions of the Sons of Veterans of For- eign Wars. Following this was a large group of Spanish- American War Veterans, who had gathered from all over Pennsylvania to march in the parade. Many American Legion posts had gathered to help pay tribute to Roosevelt and to the heroes who fell here during the battle. With them they brought their drum and fife corps, who were also in the parade. A service band, considered by many to be the best ever heard in Gettysburg, was also in attendance. While the parade was starting and, during the parade, army and navy planes flew over the cemetery and dropped flowers on the graves of the dead at Gettysburg. Following a custom of recent years, the school children of Gettysburg assembled at the center of the cemetery immediately following the parade. From here they walked slowly down over the graves and quietly dropped a flower on each as they passed. This, while it was one of the simplest parts of the whole ceremony, was undoubtedly the most impressive. After the conclusion of the service at the cemetery, the parade slowly made its way back to the square where it broke up and disbanded. Thus ended another of Gettysburg's beau- tiful Memorial Day observances, It is particularly fitting that each year, on the day set aside in remembrance of those who risked their lives for the nation, that Gettysburg, where so many died, should have such a beautiful service. This day will linger long in the minds of the class of 'l34 . Some of us have heard many speeches and seen many celebra- tions, but this simple beautiful service will remain in our memories as the best. A great deal of credit must be paid to the chairman of the Memorial Day Committee, Edward F. Strausbaugh, who worked hard and unselfishly to make the day a success. T661 Ni..
