HY-HATTER .I Having been a pianist and a member of the faculty of Hatboro High School, my brother, who passed away in May, 1942, was able to accompany Mr. Alden in many songs. In an assembly program, not long before his death, my brother accompanied Mr. Alden as he sang Ioyce Kilmer's Trees. The memory of that beautiful poem set to music inspired me to Write a poem in the same meter and dedicate it to Mr. Alden in memory of my brother, for I feel both these men have created memories just as pure and bright as God's sunsets. sunssrs . , I watched God's sun go down last night. I watched His clouds which once were white. lllumined by the sun's red rays. The sight so wonderful, I said a prayer And thanked my God that I was there. I raised my eyes and saw the clouds Enwreathed in pink and crimson shrouds, Their fleecy whiteness tinged with gold, Arranged by God to.take and hold His matchless colors there on high - To blend into the deep blue sky. I saw the sunset God has made From dainty hues of every shade. It seemed that He had made His sky A picture that no price could buy, A canvas where He might portray The peaceful ending of that day. The sun soon passed beneath a hill And left the earth serene and still. Then, as the 1:lay's remaining glow Began to .fade and slowly go, The purple clouds were turned blue-grey: And dusk divided night from day. And so at last, God's day was gone Until another amber davmp And then, before my wond'ring eyes, Amid the quiet evening skies, God .set His stars and there they kept Their ceaseless watch while mortals slept. It seemed that God had patterned there A way of life - my humble prayer: To live life like a sunny day: And when it's time to go away, ' Leave mem'ries just as pure and bright As sunsets like the one last night. RICHARD S. BEIDLER, President of Class of '45.
