THE KAY ' ' And they passed the second milestone, smiling These travelers young and strong, Each day brought their goal the nearer, And the journey clicl not now seem so long. Pleasant people they met on their trip Who gave them words of cheer, And told them to keep on climbing There was nothing ahead to fear. The third milestone is left behind, The top of the hill can be seen, And the journey, as they now look backward Seems scarcely more than a dream. A few more trials and hardships, And worries will all be in the past, There will come to them, the well-earned reward As they reach the top at last. From the top of the hill they gaze, Upon the world below, And see such a vast expanse Of things they ought to know. That these travelers say to each other How could these think that our traveling was done?,' VVith such an interesting world before us. Our search for knowledge has just begun.

1 THE KAY THE TRAVELERS At the foot of a very steep hill Stood a group of travelers, one day. All were happy going and carefree, And eager to start on their way. The road ahead looked inviting, Flowers were fair to the sight. For the travelers saw only the sunshine. And life looked wonderfully bright. They had been told if they traveled this road QBy those who had taken it beforej That when they reached the top most point They'd have of knowledge, a goodly store. So the group started forth with courage. With ambition that was good to behold. For they wanted to explore this pathway. And seek the knowledge of which they'd b At first the traveling was pleasant, But as they journeyed along, The road became rough and rugged, And lessened their laughter and song. When the first milestone was reached The travelers were glad to rest, For they all were just a bit weary, But each knew he had done his best After some relaxation They shouldered their burdens once And started for the second milestone, But they were fewer now than before 1'11OI'C, For some had become discouraged, The journey for them was too rough. And they said as they left the travelers, Of hardships, weive had enough. A few storms appalled at times. Clouds hid the sun from sight, But they lost none of their hope and courage, just pushed onward with all their might. C243 een told

H. S. Your actions, looks, and notions, proved the work of sore distress. When Sophomores you were gayer than the last year lad and lass, For you were learning more of school and how to make things pass, But still you rather trembled when your lessons were not done, And you knew that on the morrow examinations were to come. As Juniors you thought you knew it all when you planned for that reception 'Twould be the best they'd ever had in Kirklinls whole creation. Your grades were fair throughout the year and several got exempted, it seemed that luck had gone your way in all you had attempted. Vkfe recall those days long passed when you as our superior, Showed us how to get our lessons, made our weary way much merrier. And we thank you, honored Seniors, as we've never done before Letting bygones be forgotten in the golden days of yore. With our best and heart felt wishes, we bid you go your Way, In this happy world before you never let your knowledge strayg But remember that the juniors felt the keenest touch of sorrow. VVhen you left our High School doorways not to enter there tomorrow. l MARIEL MAZE, '27. C253
