The Ell Cee of Livings! ' one College CLASS POEM Putting Out From Port AT last has come the end of our school days .ZjL Long weary years of toil and gloom and joy, Capped with the fierce and angry wave, Incessantly as each dawn awoke. We now are fit to well begin our task, Yet ripened knowledge seems but little, But still thru all there ' s dashed an aim, A firm foundation built for later time. Today we launch on life ' s great busy tide, To feel the pangs of worried heart worn care, We work with one goal which looms before, To win and live a life that is for good. The aims and desires high before us lie. To meet the mortal aim which is for us. Per aspera ad astra our motto is, As we go boldly to succeed in good. We have tread the steep path so well honored, And lasting foot-prints we have tried to make, To guide the steps of all our dear successors. Who tread the campus of the Black and Blue. We drained the precious cup of knowledge. Sipping from the fountain of our teachers. Yon bending and stately oaks and pines. Will waft no longer to us their zephyrs. We have met life ' s parting of the ways. We sail steadily flaunting our colors. We will bestow our knowledge to all ports, And thus will render the task of service. Farewell, class-room, canst art, benign and dear, Where sun-rise and sun-set always found us. Our many mistakes our spotlights will be To illumine well our path dark and long. — G. Deane.
