Each petty task a thing to fight with, finish, and forget, has seemed, But that these toilsome works a strong foundation formed, we scarcely dreamed.

But oh, forget, not in our pride Through four long years of thought and toil, there have been patient hands to guide. We feel exultant, strong, unchained; we long to test our liberty. Yet had we not been long restrained, we would not now be wholly free. The debt of gratitude we owe to those who helped, and this, our school, Shall be our spur in future days to play the game of life by rule. M. Cheney, 1919.
