Class Poem For four long years you've harbored us Within your honored halls. For four long years a counselor In answer to our calls. 'Tis nearly time to leave you, The end of schooling draws nigh. I'm sure this class of '44 Is proud of their M. C. I. We shared all sorrow, grief and strife Contained in human heart. We tried as our Great God did bid Always to do our part. The years have passed too quickly, We've found that school was but play, We're soon choosing a future, Let us wisely mark our way. Ever success be our motto As in strange lands we stray, Yet, in this word are ventures bold That have led friends away. Let us on to far flung fields, Take part in our valiant role, If we try, fail, try again, Winners to be we areltold. We'll find the course long and narrow. Master each task that comes. We'll find paths rough and uncertain, But ne'er fear 'till race is won. Let's solve problems with reason As those who have gone before, May we be now as useful As our friends who are at war.
