CLASS POEM WHEN JUNE HAS COME AGAIN Sometime when June has come again, And all the world is gay and bright, You'll stop and think a moment then Of graduation night; And in your mem'ry you'll review Each face, as in a dream; and then They'll all seem strangely dear to you— When June has come again. You'll see the brown and gold once more, The flowers, the dresses filmy white, And hear upon the old wood floor The footsteps treading light. You'll hear the echoing walls ring back The march that thrilled you thru and thru, As memories which no one will lack Come crowding back to you. You'll catch your breath as o'er you comes A rush of mingled joy and pain, To think that all this once was yours—— When June has come again. Dorothy Hanson °22

SOMANHIS EVENTS 9 ginning; we have just completed the foundation upon which we are to build our life work. Let the members of the class of 1922 ever bear in mind the motto which has guided us through our course so well. We shall not always have things our own way, for we must conquer all those barriers between us and our goal before reaching success. Come, twenty-two, and show the world that we can succeed, for “Suc- cess is for him who works for it.” LOOKING FORWARD AND BACK Another class is about to leave S. M. H. S. and step out into a new sphere of life. Few of us realize that the four years of High School are per- haps the happiest and best years in our lives. This probably does not seem so true when we are translating Virgil or wrestling with a math proposi- tion. But we begin to realize it when it suddenly comes to us that there are only four more weeks of school, or when someone says, “This is our last vacation before we graduate.” Then we see how much high school has meant to us, how much better fitted we are to go on, and how hard it will be to leave. The four years of high school contain an important fork in the path of our lives; one branching one way is rocky and more difficult than the other more resistless path. Some of us hold on, sticking only to the nar- row one, and we realize later on that it was worth a good deal more than the effort; others follow the easier path, and later regret lost opportunities. But the experience of high school is not everything. Don’t think that now we are ready to meet the world, that we are prepared to carry out our given work completely. It is only a stepping stone, a firm foundation, help- ing us to aspire higher and progress farther. Nevertheless it is most valuable to us, a golden opportunity which nothing else could replace.
