Commencement Number T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Page Thirteen in Class Poem of '28 Life resembles a garden plot Brimming with flowers and weeds Both struggling for supremacy And the stronger one succeeds. Strife continues in ceaseless rounds Between the enemies keen Weeds always threatening to kill the flower Growing neglected, unseen. Temptations grow in yduth's garden fair Uprooted by virtue's spade, And the flowers flourish daily, While the weeds of evil fade. With the lily of spotless purity, The rose of hope and love, We will hearken to 1ife's calling To please the One above. Classmates, let us our garden till Let's make a heaven of good will With blossoms of splendid, noble thought, Unharmed by cold and wind -and drought. Winter may come and earth's blossoms die As the year's swift seasons roll, But our flowers of virtue will live for aye In the garden of the soul. Lena Corcimiglia.

Page Twelve T II E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number season. This is four better than last season's record: at the corresponding time. Few balls go through first with him on the job. We leave Pat making a brilliant catch of a long foul. He stands on the fence and jumps for the ball. Oh, he has it. Good-by Pat you won that game and with it the world's series. Jessie McAnn is a blacksmith. She shoes army mules. A mule kicked her yesterday and broke his leg. Helen McKeon is peddling papers for a living. She has a stand at the corner of Main and Clay streets. Everyone buys her papers because her smile goes with every pur- chase. We leave her making change. Ralph Rubens is the conductor of a huge Symphony Orchestra. In his spare time he plays a cornet for diver- sion. There is no one who can touch him in either branch. Ralph plays for the president twice a year. I see him play- ing his way into greater fame as the picture fades. Who is this editor? It's Janet McPherson. She prints the newspaper that Helen sells. Her scandal sheet is the envy of publishers all over the country. Her sport page sells her paper-Cthat is, her sport page and Helen's smile.J We leave her writing up the national convention of the Re- publican party. It was held at Le Roy this year. Lynn Saulsbury owns the Insulator Plant now. He makes high pressure insulators. He is his own salesman. No one else can satisfy. I see him fading as he completes a new million dollar sale. There is one more person who must come in for a share of my powers. Pardon me, two persons. Miss Combs is no longer Miss, she's Mrs. She named her children Cicero and Demosthenes. She lives in Batavia. Miss Connor is still teaching English in LeRoy High School. May she never cease. I have prophesied. I, the great prophet of Amon-ra, never fail. As I have said, so shall it be. I now return to my tomb, never to be disturbed again. No other prophecy will ever be important enough to again call me forth. Amon-ra bids you beware lest you put obstacles in the way of his saying. For, if you do so, I will call down the wrath of the sun upon your heads. As I leave you, I see my prophecies coming true. Edward Howard. Final Days The final school days are the busiest and the happiest. Ask any Senior! First, comes Class Night, a time of fun and frolic, on June twenty-second, Friday night. The class picnic at Silver Lake on the following day is another joyous occasion. Then comes the more sombre part of commencement week, baccalaureate service on June twenty-fourth, Sunday night. The speaker at this time will be Rev. Spencer B. Owens, pastor of the Methodist Church. Last but not least, commencement night, ending our school days, arrives. The speakers on this occasion will be Janet McPherson, Valedictoriang Alfred Decker, Salutator- iang and Professor Tilroe of Syracuse University. The diplomas will be awarded by Mr. Taylor. '28. The Epic of the Senior Class The epic is a mighty poem with a. very noble theme. There is much of the supernatural element, and there is also the Cause. The Cause is some great aim or mighty purpose for which the hero is working, many battles of all sorts being necessary for his success. The following is an outline of the Epic of the Class of '28. I Great Cause A. Four year's attempt to win shorter hours and more play. 1. Have we Won out? II Deeply imbedded moral A. Try to find it III Supernatural forces A. The Faculty l.
