Class Poem The sun may rise at every dawn And the stars may shine at every night, But once youth has flown, It has had its last flight. Peace and war may come and go And come and go some more, But in the ebb and tide of life ' s flow, Only once does youth trickle to life ' s shore. Enjoy life ' s fertile core Before its preciousness is gone, For youth comes no more After its flight is flown. ) In these, the decisive years of our youth, A time to take, and share, and give, We struggle to find the path of truth That will determine the lives we live. We are like unto a pilot upon the sea; With his compass, he must set the course to be. Youth is the compass to be used on life ' s sea . . . In youth we set the courses of our lives eternally. May we set the courses ever so well With God ' s guidance through these years That in our sunsets, at death ' s knell, We need not, in remembrance, shed repentant tears James Ralph Ihrie Class Poet 27
