I ., 'R J. C. T. H. S. The Cardinal Spring - Ai Ea5t CLASS POEM 0 Months have slip'd past, and spring at last Comes to this land of ours, Bringing mild winds, that lightly send To us their boundless showers. The grass peeps out. and round about Are myriads of flowers, XVhile robins sing, as grass they bring To build their comely bowers. II Then joy's coarse call, wafted to all, Awakens a deep longing To fly-to fly, away up high And shriek, and cry, at dawning. VVe get, by chance, the nierest glance At few of nature's browning, As in a whirl the sprightly squirrel Into a hole goes bounding. III It seems to me, that every tree Shields from our eyes the beauty Of lots of things, that springtime brings To turn us t rom our duty. Yet we have spring, and like to sing Ot' her in all her beauty, That's why I wrote this little note, I tho't it was my duty. M1165 H1115 in Sarninr 0112155 1. I-larris jones, Class printer. 2.

J. C. T. H. S. The Cardinal 1HalehirIn1'g .7-Xhhreaa IU. GI. U. EH. 53. 1921 It has been said that the saddest of all sad words is farewell, and to me has fallen the painful lot of tonight speaking that word to our teachers, our friends, and our class- mates. There is something in that word, some mystic cord stretching back into the days gone by, memories of other scenes of joy, of pleasant events. of friendship, that puts forth its hand and says. even as the French said when they faced the German host at The Battle of the Marne, with their homes. their familes, and their country behind them, Thou shalt not pass. All the petty wrangles and strifes, the acts of narrow- mindedness, fade into oblivion and are swallowed up by that wonderful healer of wounds, forgetfulness. But yet. is it farewell? No! Such bonds of friendship are not so easily broken. No one would dare by that one brief word to snap asunder all the ties that bind us. Fidelity would not suffer it. Fidelity is the one word that softens that harsh sound. for we know that when we part that that mysterious power will draw us back. That is the word which bushes the wailing of the bereaved parent, or wife. or child, that knowledge that somewhere in the dim distant regions that that power is caus- ing the departed to carefully watch over and protect. The man who is not faithful to his ideals and his friends, discovers too late his mistake and faces ruin, disaster, and oblivion. Scott says of fidelity: Breathes there a man with soul so dead, VVho never to himself hath said. 'This is my own, my native land? Wfhose heart hath ne'er within him burned, As homeward his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand? If such there breathe, go mark him well: For him no minstrel rapturcs swellg High though his titles. proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim: Despite those titles, power. and pelf, The wretch conccntered all in self. Living, shall forfeit fair renown. And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung. Unwept, unhonored, and unsung. History recalls no more odious character than judas Iscariot. The treachery of Brutus is chronicled in a thousand ballads. Wie read of Benedict Arnold and scoff more than at Lord Cornwallis. VVe read of the infidelity of the French spy at VVaterloo and despise him while for Napoleon we have the greatest admiration. XVashington lives in our memory because he was faithful to our struggling republic, Lincoln because he was faithful to that idea that all men are created equal, and so may you and I live in the years to come, if we make the motto of the marines ours, Semper Fidelisf' In the world, treachery hides its hideous face under the mantle of fidelity, for who would openly look upon and be identified with the distorted features of treachery? Many times have you not met a person and 'felt that there was something in his character that was missing? Have you not read of the charitable deeds of some of the wealthy and felt that this was only the hush-money given to an accursed conscience-a drowning man grasping a straw? Have you not read of the laws offered by many a statesman and felt that they were only an outward manifestation? Somethingwsome subtle sixth sense told you that the motives of these people were selfish. that they were using charity to cover a multitude of sins. That mysterious something that was missing was fidelity. These men were not true to their God, their country, nor to themselves. Many nations have become powerful with the motto, Semper Fidelisf' No people were ever more devoted to their country than the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Carthagin- ians. Each city in its day was the pride of all the world. Each in its turn departed from the time-worn paths of its fathers and now onl3:,a heap of dust and names sung by poets tell of their ancient fame. Only slight mounds of earth mark the place where once ' 23
