TO THE SENI ORS Farewell, noble Seniors, farewell, it is true, Gardens of roses are waiting' for you, Although this garden has bloomed and is dead, Roses will bloom in the path straight ahead. Wlhat a strange, sad kind of a world this would be, lf yesterniornis sunrise were all we would see l How gloomy and dark would the world seem at night, Wiere it not for the hope of the dawn's rosy light! XXFCi1'C sorry to lose you, and Hlled with regret XYl1Cl1 we think of the friendships we're bound to forget As we wencl our way in our separate spheres, Mid sunshine and laughter or tempcsts and tenrs. Then farewell, noble Seniors, though had we our will, NYe'd stop in our course and bid Time f'Be still l But Time has always been restless and grim, Prone to make brightness withered and dim, To watrh dancing footsteps falter and pause, lt shall ever be thus-it is one of Life's laws. So were powerless to keep you, we must let you pass.. XVith the kindest of wishes from the whole ,lunior Class! ....g..g..p..o..o-4. ? e 6 A Q 4 Q 9 4 Q ! Q i E Q . 9 Q Q Q 5 9 9 Q s . . . . .

THE TALE OF 1914 Give ear my comrades to the tale that l tell!- How I remember it easy and well. On an azure blue morning in nineteen ten, I could not but recollect it again, VYhen a group of young boys and pretty girls XYith early Dutch bloomers and pert little curls Came through the portals of old lligh School's walls Then smartly, half-lordly. walked through her halls. NYC passed the Seniors and Sophs with a grin, Beside the -luniors our course to begin. But how these people were struck and amazed Is learned from the way they gaped and gazed. For never before, our teachers admit. lYas ever class to our distinction near tit. In every department our whole course through In track, football and basket-ball too. lYe shone resplendent with laurels of fame Able to play in any kind of a game. But this is only a part of our skill. And since you have asked me to tell vou. l, will,-- V Of how such great men and women vou see XYere ever created in this school to be. You'll agree, there are found wherever yotl go From distant Brazil to .Xntarctic snow Some who are able in one special thing, Some who can fiddle and some who can sing. Men who are preachers and doctors and such, Few that are fossils and walk with a crutch. But what is most grand in every race From the most learned mind to the whole- somest face, XVill be found present in this long arrav Of faces with smiles and gestures so gay. lust how they came to be here isn't hard to explain Because when they heard they conldn't re- tram From joining a class that is quite so grand As any to be found all over the land, However, when speaking we cannot forget Our visits to Chapcd when Freshmen vet. How shy and reserved and bashful were all. :Xnd what a change was marked bv the next fall, ' When these poor young Freshmen of Class '15 lYere ushered in here so yellow and green. But lest they be trampled we gave them a book And helped them along till the hrst day of blune. llow plainly l see standing right there Young .NlcNerney and Hortz with water soaked hair And a little red nose and a little wet eye llolding a lolly-pop lcst they might cry. Climbing in breeches on the rung of a stool Xlias Overly who thinks that he runs the whole school. liut on him we need not fret or caper liecause it hustles him to write his name on paper. Then there's Xtible. who's just like all the rest. Xxillo couldn't spell cat were his soul to be blest. lbid vou ever see standing down there in the hall .X big raw boned rube who is so very tall Xlillo has the shaggy hair and ought to a can .Xnd pose in colored pictures as llappy llolligan? lt seems that in your travels you would tind llut lcw people who are of a kind Seanor, Xlitinger and llowards. two UI' :t family ot giraffs from l'eru Hi' some out-of-way country like that Xthere they live on wind and that makes them fat. 'lihere are Kline and llenford. two cute little dears-W XYho are no better for all of their years, .-Xnd irom the way they talk 'twould seem 'i a ey control the sea from Frisco to Spain. plain lh t th lhen there is liregg. who in anything knows as much ,Xs Hob Kilgore or lilenn l.ogan does in llutch-s lim let me not speak about these people too long, For l have other things to sing in my song. 'l'hat again concern more deeply this select mass lX'hich is better known as nineteen fourteen class ln which there are men that some dav will shine i .Xs leaders in their particular line lfor we have shown in years just gone bv 'lhat we can do anything if we will but trv. 'l here is llill who would argue from morn- ing till night lllen look lor more victims when thev'd gone lroin sight.
