CLASS OF 1912 13 SENIOR. ODE TO G. N. GRISHAM. VIOLA MARDIS, ’12. For years, our race has produced men Who fight with tongue and sword and pen, O, golden age, whose light is dawn. I hope your colors never wan. With doctors, lawyers, statesmen, bright, . All gifted with an inner sight, Poets, too, their bards have sung Of virtues, pure and spotless clung. Professors, who have by their skill. Completed their work with zeal and will Professor Grisham, who has come To help his race a course to run. Many a year through storm and tide, He trudged his weary way outside; In order, that we boys and girls May have the right to gain a world Of knowledge, culture, and of deeds That come each day, we plant our seeds. . Though brought through trials, and hampered much By people, who begrudged him such, Long may the height, that he attained, Let peace and joy and comfort reign. His lectures, that won him fame, Of good advices, you cannot name, Of speech, his tone is soft and low, Their, it is a point, to show. A wiser man, please bear in mind, Than G. X. Grisham, you cannot find. t
