SENIOR CLASS POEM 'Tis now We rnust go out into life, Into the battle, into the strife. Did I say strife? No, not at allg Life can be beautifulg this is life's call. Life's calling us from far and nearg It's a challenging sound. Do you not hear? The Whistle of the Wind, the bubbling of the brook, It's life calling usg we must listen and look. Itis cheering us ong on, to the topg We must never look backg we must never stop. May We never regret the paths weive trod, But keep striving on and looking toward God. 25 WILLIAM Cox
