NAUTIL CLASS POEM '27 ,27lS pomp and glory Fades away in one last Hare. Yesterday a class of Seniors- How tomorrow shall we fare? Though today we sing together, HHigh School Is a Jolly Home, Though today sets forth our glory- What is in the years to come? Four good years we've spent in High Years made better, since we knew Back of us were those who'd help us When our load too heavy grew. And we doubt not that tomorrow Will show forth the good they've Ours the character they moulded, Theirs the battle nobly fought. Ours the credit, ours the glory, Theirs the earnest, kindly smile. Here and there you need assistance, Let us help a little while. Now the ceremony closes, Even now the hour grows late, And we hear a voice behind us: Step aside for '28.

N A U T I L U S PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '27 'fNature has set no limits to our hopes. This true statement was made by an eminent French writer during French revolutionary times. True as this statement is, we must first serve as apprenticesg we must fight our way to the top if we would realize our hopes. It is a common saying that everyone cannot be first, but it is just as true that there is always room at the top. We think that we live in a modern world. We call ourselves modern, but when we have really become capable of taking our places in the world we will find that our work will be different from the work of our parents. Perhaps it would be better to call the world in which we live the changing world rather than the modern world, for the world is changing and it will continue to change. If We hope or expect to be successful, we must change with the world. In changing, however, we may well follow the advice, ffBe not the first, nor yet the last. When we look about us we see people in every walk of life. Some of them fill positions which were unknown yesterdayg tomorrow we will fill positions which are unknown today. It is the changing world. You may ask why we change. We change because f'Nature has set no limit to our hopes and cur hopes as they are realized one by one lead us to hope for more and different things. It is this very fact which will make us change. If weuchange, the world about us will change. It has been said that the world is growing more complex. This statement is perhaps true. At least the life of today is more complex than the life of our own pioneer days. During the most of our life we have been preparing to meet thcse complexities. We have been learning. We have acquired a certain amount of knowledge upon which to base our future activities, but we must continue to lcarn and to change with the world. If we do not change we stand still, and if we st 1 still we must die as far as the world is concerned. If we find trees and flowers lovely, we may become botanistsg or if we are fascinated by the truth we may become scholars or teachers. Some of us will li' the life of a business man, or perhaps choose to be a professional man or learn a trade. Some of us will not find an occupation exactly to our liking and as a result will never be satisfied, but constantly looking for some work which will enable us to find pleasure and hopes for advancement. Some of us will remain near L. T. H. S. and keep in touch with the school where we spent four of the happiest years of cur lives. Some of us will sro to different cities, different states, different countries, but sooner or later we will all feel the desire to return and see again our school and our classmates. When we do return we will not see the same classmates we left in '2 7. Instead of laughing, care-free students, we will have grown more dignified and more serious, yet in our actions and manners the little characteristics which mark us now will mark us then. The cheerful smile, the brisk hello and the quick wave which characterized us to our classmates will not be entirely lost. We will choose different ways, but still our hopes will have no limit. The world will change and we will change with it. Some of us will succeed in gaining fame, some will succeed in a financial way. Some will succeed in living a life of service and bringing pleasure to others and to themselves. But whether you succeed in realizing your hopes or not, whether your task is great or small, the best of luck to you all. CHARLES KERRY. Page Z6
