CLASS POEM Now from this citadel of friends. We journey on a lonesome way; And all the varied paths that tend To separate us from today Can never fill the void we find. In leaving all our classes behind. The treasure found within these walls Cannot be weighed in Mammon terms; The friendships made within these halls A haven from our trials to turn. But off now with these solemn thoughts. To face a world and conquer there; To reach the goal that each has sought. And see our dreams of fortune fair. To travel through this forest cold. To reach our fortress, and there hold Our place among the world of peers With fading mem’ries of former years. —Donna Dyke 29
