January 3 In Behalf of the Class of January 1939 The Editors of COLUMNS Respectfully Dedicate this Booklet to Raymond I. Haskell, M.A., Pk.D. Head of the Department of English Like men who roamed the barren plains in times long, long ago, Who leveled pristine forests, fought the Indian with his bow; Like men who strived for freedom, sought to build up something true, We’re glad to face this goal at last beside a friend like you. We then press on life’s highway, as trackless as the sea, Its quick, sharp turns and sudden shocks will befuddle you and me; There’re miles ahead to cover, there’s courage to be wrought, Qood fortune — yes, misfortunes, and lessons to be taught. But as we leave Girard behind, our future e’er in view, We can’t forsake its ivy walls without a thought of you. So some fine day we’ll glance back down that ladder of success, And value honors truly won we dare not here profess, A tear will fall as we look again on precious days we knew, But there among those memories will be this thought of you.

GIRARD—Our Benefactor When Qod bent down to earth one day, He gazed on common road; And there He grasped some yet-warm clay, Where seeds of grace were sowed. He pressed it gently in His hands To selfishness destroy, He washed it in a magic dew Of human strength and joy. He bathed it in philosophy Distilled for Qod and man, He moulded it with careful turn, A fervent soul began. He tempered it in flames of Life, Then cooled it in His Word, It saw the sky—beheld the sea, Thus god made one great man. Yes, soon this man defied the waves, Resolved in spirit true; He sent great ships across the seas, New ports to soon review. Those ports, soon swelled with busy trade, To fortune this man led; But ideals turned this fortune to The campus we now tread. We here in humble homage bow, Let no man dare defame The name, Qirard — American — Our hero we declaim. Deep in our hearts enshrined today, Great benefactor — Friend — Brave heart, you’re like Eternity — No rime—no change—no end. —Richard W. Boyd
