Qouiiiiuciz YEAR Bog' R 1912 CLASS POEM-l 912 FRANK SADDLER, JR. E sit and read how other men haveileft old Commerce High, And find they parted all the same, upon their lips a sigh, So when we come to take our leave, 'twill be the same old way, We can but sing the same old song, repeat the same old lay: Farewell, then, Commerce, dear old school, it's mighty hard to go, We know that when we've left we'll have a good hard row to hoe, For most of us will go to work, and work is no sw Vfeyve just begun to realize how soft we got along. We always thought of Commerce as the bugaboo of life, But we,ll find 'twas pretty easy when we meet the world of strife A And the teachers, after all, were not such engines of destruction, V As We used to think the eet song- y were when we were under their instruction. VVe've learned a-lot of things since Hrst we came to Commerce High, And we,ve memories of Commerce life that will surely never die. Of our number, some have gained renown upon the field of sport, While others sought their laurel crowns in work of milder sort, But now whate'er their tastes may be, they must at last depart, And the student and the athlete, hand in hand, with saddened heart, 'Will venture forth to light alone their battles day 'by day, And join the everlasting throng that journeys on its way. And when the eye grows dim with age, the limbs lose all their strength VVhen the broad highway of life has been traversed almost its length, When the feeble mind wants naught but to review the fruitful past, Then will the years at Commerce High stand forth from mem'ries vast. Lost in dreams, the tired features slowly break into a smile, For welll ne'er forget thee, Commerce, till we,ve passed o'er Life,s last stile. 73
