Lyman, in appreciation of her excellence as a teacher, and in gratitude for her unsparing labor in our behalf, we, the Class of 1938, dedicate this, our Year Book. “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Proverbs 31: 26 J FOREWORD “Friends depart, and memory takes them To her caverns pure and deep.” —Thomas Haynes Bayley During our high school days we have made many friends from whom we shall now be separated. ‘The passing years will have a tendency to make us forget these friends, and to dim the memory of our high school activities. As a means of preserving and refreshing those memories, we have compiled this Year Book. The staff of the Year Book takes this opportunity to thank our principal and our staff advisers for valuable help. We also wish to express to our advertisers our gratitude for their support. M. H. S.

YEAR BOOK ADDRESS OF WELCOME by Angelina Garofano In The Divine Comedy the Roman poet Vergil, Dante’s teacher and guide, bids farewell to his illustrious pupil with these words: “By intellect and art I here have brought thee, Take thy own pleasure henceforth for thy guide.” Tonight, as we face the future, we, too, have come to a parting of the ways. We, like Dante, have reached a milestone, our graduation. “Thus far we have been guided by you, our parents and friends. Henceforth, we must go our way alone. How successful we are in our journey through life will depend upon how well we have heeded your advice, risen to your standards, and profited by your experience. In gratitude we welcome you, our parents. With you have rested the cares and responsibilities of our maintenance in school. ‘The sacrifice this has entailed we fully appreciate, and we are happy that we can afford you the satisfaction which we know is yours tonight. Friends, to you we offer our sincere thanks for the unselfish devotion which you have bestowed upon us through out our school years. You have exulted with us in our triumphs; you have sympathized with us in our disappointments. We are happy that you are with us on this night which marks the fulfilment of our desires. To our teachers we extend a hearty greeting. By your zealous instruc- tion we have been prepared to step forth into the world which lies before us. You have shared with us not only your knowledge but also your enthusiasms and ideals, a precious heritage to take with us on our way. Tonight we pause and hesitate before the labyrinth of ways that open up before us. We cannot go bac k to the sheltered road. We must press forward on a new and untried path. As we begin our journey alone, we would say once more to all who have so successfully guided us thus far: “Thank you and welcome to our graduation.” [24 ] M. H. $8. YEAR BOOK CLASS HISTORY by Irene Perkins In ancient times history was based more on fiction than on fact. Such great writings as Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historie of the Kings of Britaine are strange mixtures of historical fact and legendary lore. Tales of King Arthur’s fabulous Round Table are placed side by side with the actual deeds of Alfred the Great. Many years later, historians gradually became more conscientious in their pursuit of truth. Before great authors like Gibbon and Carlyle began writing, they spent hours in dim, musty libraries searching the archives, so that no detail might escape their notice. Today, no serious scholar would think of writing a history based on legend or tradition. Most historians now believe in revealing cold, hard facts, however pleasant or distasteful they may be. Although not a great historian, I, too, shall endeavor to be accurate. For this reason, I have spent hours poring over my scrapbook, which con- tains records, pictures, and memories of my high school years. On the first page of the book are the hopes and dreams of the class that timidly gathered at the high school one morning in September, 1935, for the beginning of their sophomore year. They knew little of the glorious future that was ahead of them, and were living only in the bewildering present. It was not long, however, before they adjusted themselves to the routine in the Mansfield High School. Late in September, according to my then brand-new scrapbook, the class took the first step on its march to glory. Under the guidance of Principal Ever ett Green, class elections were held. The choice was Fred Vallett, president; James Shaw, vice-president ; Jenevieve Willard, secretary; and Rose Certuse, treasurer. I recall that as sophomores my classmates were happy and busy, but that their tasks were confined mostly to the classroom and did not extend to the social whirl. According to this clipping, however, some of the boys found time for athletics. ‘Among the sophomores responding to Coach Carnie’s call for football candidates were Don Currivan, Fred Vallett, Fred Tucker, and John Lane.” How wisely the reporter visualized the future when he added, “Great things are expected of these boys who saw practice on the junior high team last year.” It is interesting to note that in the next two years this prophecy was carried out, and that these boys contributed much to the athletic fame of the school. A few other members also attempted work outside of the classroom by securing positions on the staff of the Green Parrot. These members, ac-— [25°] VES oan Re BOOK cording to my scrapbook, were Emile Jalbert, Jenevieve Willard, Fred Vallett, and Priscilla Wills. ‘The boys in the class did not seem to catch spring fever, for Jim Shaw, Bill Vallett, Charles O’Malley, Arthur Faria, Frank Young, Ezio Benigni, Fred Vallett, and John Lane reported for baseball practice. The climax of the year came when we beheld the following article in the school journal: “At the recent Speaking Contest the Sophomore Class was well represented. “The members taking part in the contest were Emile Jalbert, Elizabeth Branigan, Priscilla Wills, red Vallett, and Ezio Benigni.” We have reason to be proud of this event for Elizabeth Branigan won second prize. The next September I began a fresh page, for we were entering upon our junior year. No longer were we timid; and no longer did we have to endure the superior glances of cold, haughty juniors and seniors. September 18 marked the beginning of real activity. On that date the Mansfield News carried the article “The new principal, Mr. Mattoon, today called a meeting of the Junior Class for the purpose of electing class officers. Fred Vallett was made president; Rose Certuse, vice-president ; Angelina Garofano, secretary; and James Shaw, treasurer.” That year, the football team was undefeated. The juniors on the team were Jim Shaw, George Santucci, Don Currivan, Bill Howe, Ezio Benigni, Fred Vallett, and John Lane. Again referring to my scrapbook, I find that the junior members of the staff of the Green Parrot were Jenevieve Willard, Emile Jalbert, Pris- cilla Wills, and Elizabeth Penrose. As I glance down at my hand, my gaze rests upon my class ring. With a feeling of pleasure, I recall that it was around Christmas that our rings were received. How proud we were! Before many years will have passed, no doubt, some of us will have other class rings, and the girls surely look forward to a romantic future when a glistening solitaire and a plain gold band will adorn their fingers, but we shall always cherish this, our first emblem. In the basketball season, the team was again undefeated and John Lane, Don Currivan, Robert Paulson, and Ezio Benigni brought fame to our class. One of the highlights of the year was described in the following article: “February 8, 1937. Under the direction of Miss Aurilla Shepard and Miss Mildred Jones, the French and Latin clubs of the high school combined te give a Mardi Gras at the Grange Hall. The prize for the prettiest costume among, the girls was given to Louise Morini, who wore a beautiful old-fashioned gown of white and orchid satin, with a huge hoop-skirt. Evelyn Mason, blacked to the ears and dressed in faded blue overalls, was given the prize for the funniest costume. “The handsomest costume among [26 ] Mo Hes] YEAR, BOOK the boys was worn by William Howe, who was clad in wine velvet trousers, a wine velvet cape embroidered in gold, a matching velvet hat with a plume, and black cavalry boots. Homer Greene, a perfect Percy, wore white trousers that scarcely reached his ankles, a gray jacket, and a stiff white collar with a huge red bow. ‘he prize for the funniest costume went to ‘Lewis Fletcher, who came dressed apparently for a ‘dark town strutters’ ball’. Another great event was the Junior Social, which took place on April ten. All the juniors were excited for weeks before the event, because it was to be our first real social function. Needless to say, our air castles did not tumble to the ground. I'll never forget the end of my junior year. As a sophomore, gradua- tion seemed distant and vague, for we were only slightly acquainted with the lofty seniors and we had little part in the graduation plans; but, as juniors, graduation seemed near and exciting. “The seniors were our friends and we were sorry to bid them farewell. Then, too, we were taking more notice of commencement, for the next year we hoped to be graduated ourselves. Our part in the graduation came when we tendered a reception to the seniors. Picture a warm, starry June evening; girls in soft, flowing evening dresses, and boys in blue coats and white trousers; the Town Hall resplen- dent in blue and white nautical design! That occasion was one never to be forgotten. The reception ended our junior year and brought us nearer to our coveted goal. At last we were seniors; at least we were the ones to be looked up to and revered by the other students. No longer were we just inconspicuous members of the Mansfield High School. The next fall we joyfully came back to begin our senior year. In a few days class elections were held. Fred Vallett had been such a satisfac- tory leader in past years that he was unanimously re-elected. Fortunately, no tradition prevented him from accepting a third term. William Howe was elected vice-president; Angelina Garofano, secretary; and Elizabeth Penrose, treasurer. The second event in our senior year was recorded as follows: ‘Today the high school students held an assembly in the Town Hall. Coach Bassett awarded letters to the sophomore and junior football players and presented jackets in the high school colors, green and white, to these seniors: Ezio Benigni, Fred Vallett, Mike Prohodsky, Richard Rider, Jim Shaw, John Lane, Don Currivan, Stanley Cross, Benoni Latham, and Arthur Reisman.” On Thanksgiving evening, we left another mark on the sands of fame. The Mansfield News reported: ‘“The Senior Class, under the direction of Mildred Forrester Morse, presented Huckleberry Finn. ‘The cast was as [27 | M.-H. S: YEAR BOOK follows: Aunt Polly, Huldah Cobb; Ruth Watson, Rose Certuse; Mary Jane, Grace Davenport; Fred Raymond, David Ingram; Melba White, Mary Striga; Clara Woppinger, Priscilla Wills; Amy Woppinger, Eliza- beth Branigan; Huckleberry Finn, Emile Jalbert; John Finn, Fred Vallett; Tom Sawyer, William Howe. Aunt Polly and Melba White stole the show, although Huckleberry Finn was quite able to hold his own.” Again we made the front page in January. “The Senior Class held an important meeting at the high school today. ‘The purpose of the meeting was to vote on a year book and to decide whether to follow the newly established precedent of wearing caps and gowns at graduation. ‘The vote in favor of both was almost unanimous.” Another article announces: ‘“Today the Senior Class chose Elizabeth Penrose as the Mansfield representative for the Good-Citizenship Pilgrimage. Miss Penrose will attend the D. A. R. Conference in Boston sometime in March.” My heart swells with pride as I behold the next clipping. ‘Three girls are the highest ranking students in the Senior Class, which is outstand- ing for its scholastic record. Miss Jenevieve Willard was awarded first honors and Miss Angelina Garofano, second honors. Miss Irene Perkins won third honors and will give the Class History. The highest average among the toys was attained by Ezio Benigni. The class chose Emile Jalbert to draw up the Class Will and Miss Grace Davenport to present the Class Prophecy. Miss Priscilla Bowles will edit the Year Book.” ‘‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” and the Senior Class was determined not to be dull. In May the girls set aside one day for Bow Day, when all senior girls were to wear the largest bows they could find. Not to be outdone, the boys decided to wear their flashiest ties on that occasion. “The results were, to say the least, dazzling. In June, the seniors again decided to set aside all work for a day. “This time it was “Tramp Day.’ All came to school dressed in their oldest clothes of vagabondia. When I saw some of the outlandish rigs that they wore, I was certainly glad that I had brought my camera. At last, we had reached our goal, and we joined in a series of com- mencement events in our last week together. No newspaper clippings are necessary to bring memories of these last few happy days—happy because we had reached our goal, but sad because we had also reached the parting of the ways. On Sunday morning, proudly decked out in our caps and gowns, we attended baccalaureate services. Now the long-awaited hour is at hand. For the last time we are assembled here in the Town Hall. Soon our much coveted diplomas will be in our hands. ‘Thus, the history of the Class of 1938 comes to an end. The story of the future must be left to another. [ 28 } M. H. S. YEAR BOOK CLASS PROPHECY by Grace Davenport On the afternoon of June 25, 1960, as I was sitting quietly at home, the telephone rang sharply. Nervously I picked up the receiver. “Miss Davenport?” said a crisp, business-like voice, utterly unfamiliar to me. I established my identity and the unknown voice continued, “This is Mr. Savoirtout, secretary to Professor William Verdi. I am to inform you that you have been invited by the Patent Committee to witness a trial test of Professor Verdi’s invention, the telometer, which projects you a century into the future. If you care to come, please be at our office at seven promptly.” If I cared to come, indeed! I was thrilled and honored to think that I should be the first to see this remarkable mechanism. I had heard that William Verdi, an old classmate of mine, was perfecting such a machine, but I did not dream that I should ever live to see it. I could readily under- stand why such a fantastic project appealed to Professor Verdi, for I re- membered how restless he had always been. Now that he had finally escaped the bonds of space and time, he must be truly happy. Breathless with excitement, I arrived at the office of the Patent Com- mittee. SPUTTER! SPUTTER! BANG! BANG! came from the ma- chine before me. “Don’t be alarmed,” shouted Professor Verdi, who looked more fright- ened than I felt. After what seemed a century, there was a sudden stillness; then came a flash on the screen. It appeared to be an announcement. I read to my- self: “Ladies and gentlemen, you are now in the year 1950. You will see a moving picture of the most famous people of this year.” 1950! Why, that was ten years ago! Then I realized that Professor Verdi’s wonderful invention had taken us back ten years instead of pro- jecting us forward a century. I could hardly keep from laughing, but it was not at all funny to Professor Verdi. He looked so downcast that ic took two packages of chewing gum to persuade him not to turn off the machine. Finally he agreed to see the past and I settled back comfortably. Maybe—just maybe—I might find out what my classmates had been doing all this time. The picture began. On the screen was a sign which read: “Cigars, Cigarettes, and Candy’’—William McKee—Proprietor. So one of my classmates had be- come a public utility magnate. May his fame endure and never entirely go up in smoke! The second picture showed a patient hitch-hiker, whom I recognized as Lester McGoldrick, the famous thumb specialist. It was he who in- { 29 } M. H. S$. YEAR BOOK vented the phosphorescent thumb for night hikers and thus became one bright and shining light of the Class of ’38. The next scene showed the Mansfield City Hospital. In the operating room was Dr. Fred Vallett with his two most eMcient nurses, Huldah Cobb and Virginia Carnie. Patients and patience! In charge of the nurses was Ozina Marotte. The fourth picture showed the one and only Mansfield radio station. A tantalizingly familiar voice said, “Ladies and gentlemen, next you will hear that Casanova of the air waves, Ezio Benigni, singing J Have Only One Heart Tio Give. He will be accompanied by that trickster of the guitar, James Shaw. ‘Take it away, Tony.” I looked closely and there sat Tony Fiore, chief radio operator. But the voice of the announcer still puzzled me. When the song was finished, he returned and this time I recognized John Horrocks. Stepping up to the microphone, he said clearly: ‘This is the M. H. S. Network. Tune in again. (Good night.” Another picture and again I heard singing, but this time the music was entirely different. “There before my eyes stood Mary Belcher singing the leading role in dida. She finished a famous aria and received no less than five curtain calls. Oh! Orange blossoms! It must be a wedding and indeed it was. ‘There was Irene Perkins, former kindergarten teacher, walking down the aisle. People have disputed whether the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, as the proverb states, or whether he must be appealed to through his sense of sight. Fortunately Irene had close friends who could give her expert advice: for her maid of honor was Elizabeth Penrose, a famous dietitian; her bridesmaids, Alice Preston, a well-known stylist, and Marjorie Cosgrove, noted for her articles on How To Apply Make-Up. And Irene did look lovely! At the altar was the minister, David Ingram. I turned my attention to the bridal party. Yes, another familiar figure. Who could forget the stalwart form of Bud Rider, the noted explorer? Bud had wrested the title of Bring ‘em Back Alive from Frank Buck, but this naturally had nothing to do with his present duties. But what a contrast! The next picture showed a monastery, where Don Currivan was taking his final vows in the Order of Perpetual Relax- ation. Next on the screen appeared the Blue Room of the Hotel Mansfield, where Elizabeth Branigan, Evelyn Underwood, and Althea Kreimendahl sang popular songs, accompanied by Dorothy Booth and her all-girl or- chestra. Miss Booth had always been very fond of dogs; so I was not surprised to see her in the next picture walking in the park with her collie, her Scottie, and her little Pomeranian. Mansfield was celebrating. And why not? ‘Those famous aviators, [ 30 } Mo Ho S..Y EAR BOOK Frank and Robert Young , were visiting the scenes of their childhood. Mansfield’s new journal, the Daily Sun, was edited by Priscilla Bowles, ably assisted by Eleanor Falotico, the famous sob-sister. Eleanor always said, “If there is news, I get it.” What success they have enjoyed! Another picture—a football rush? No, simply a group of bargain hunters, all trying to obtain a copy of the latest best seller, Develop Yiour Personality in Ten Easy Lessons, by Dill, Calhoun, and Barrows. I made a mental note to read their book. Then the scene changed: I really felt as if I were walking through a park. ‘There was a swimming meet. Priscilla Wills and Gloria Moro were giving an exhibition of their aquatic talents. Priscilla and Gloria have both won cups at the Olympics. They would have won again had they not stopped to argue about Leander who swam the Hellespont. Pris- cilla insisted that he was a Greek, while Gloria maintained that he was a Roman. Both girls had been trained by Pauly Walker, world-renowned sports coach. “Their failure on this last mentioned occasion confirmed all her suspicions about the value of literature. Across the pool we saw, in the judges’ box, Jenevieve Willard, income- tax expert. Jenevieve had become so shrewd and accurate that quite fre- quently she was able to prove that the government owed her clients money. No wonder she was popular! Beside her was Catherine Lane, bookkeeper in the Mansfield Manufacturing Company. This firm is the fifth largest in the United States. “T love a parade,” I hummed to myself as I continued to watch the film. In military array the Coast Guards marched by, led by Bill Howe, now in command of the Coast Guard Service throughout the United States. Goose stepping rhythmically up the street to the music of The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, they passed a very modernistic paint store. A sign hung over the door: “Paint is red, paint is blue; We'll paint any color just for you.” Roland Hoogerzeil and William Vallett, proprietors. Both gentlemen stood in the doorway, wistfully watching the Coast Guards go by. No doubt, they were eager to join them and help them paint the town red. The next picture showed Madame Sylvia's Gown Shop. Madame Sylvia, whom we knew as Sylvia Bennett, specialized in Petite Modes for Petite Women. To live up to this trade-mark, she employed Elsie Arnold and Virginia Cataloni to model her gowns. Sylvia’s slogan was interna- tionally known: Grace and charm for all, both short and tall. Her favorite designer, Thelma Sankey, has made the 7’. S. on gowns as famous as the S. B. on cough drops. Our next sight was “Mike’s Gym.” Mike Prohodsky, the manager, esny! M. H. 8. YEAR BOOK believed in the feminine touch; so he employed Irma Pianosi and Helena Spilewski. Irma pounded off the ladies’ weight, while Helena made them run off their excess avoirdupois. On the floor above was the laboratory of the city’s chief chemists, Stan Cross and Homer Greene. One day while Stan and Homer were experi- menting with T. N. T., they nearly blew the building up; but that was not the first time they had raised the roof, I thought to myself. The scene changed to the United States Embassy in Paris. There was Emile Jalbert, Ambassador to France, in the moment of his greatest triumph. Emile had talked and pleaded so eloquently that France had paid the war debt to the United States with interest, and Emile had been recalled by a grateful nation. It was fun seeing a movie within a movie. ‘The picture, We Will Be True, starred Loretta Chapman and ‘lony Melchiorri. “These two had long been favorites of matinée-goers. At the back of the theater was the manager, Ben Latham, who never tired of watching his famous classmates. Once more our attention was called to the Daily Sun. A well set-up front page appeared on the screen. Its headlines announced a special ban- quet in honor of John Lane and George Santucci, star players for the Boston Red Sox. The next sight was one I shall long remember. Good old Mansfield High School! ‘There in the office sat the principal, Arthur Reisman. Next to the office was a Spanish class, taught by Mildred Collins. In another room Eleanor Cook was seeking to inspire in her pupils a love of English literature. How dear to their hearts were the scenes of their childhood,— but were they? Next we saw a jumble of traffic. In the midst of it was Robert Paulson, reprimanding a hasty motorist. Robert had been appointed chief-of-police, but desiring to take an active part on the force, he had made Harold Peabody acting chief in his place. Mary Striga, his personal secretary, kept the department running when the chief and his assistant went fishing. Next to the police headquarters were the offices of the mayor, none other than Edwin Green. Angelina Garofano must have felt proud to be his political and social adviser, and Don Riley, too, must have been happy in his appointment as city clerk. Mansfield even boasted a golf course. The picture showed two of Mansfield’s sportswomen competing in the national open golf tournament. One was Helena Knowles, an expert instructor; the other, Barbara Cullen, successor to Bobby Jones. On the cover of the American Magazine appeared the smiling face of Rose Certuse, famous “germatologist.” This popular periodical was now owned by Harold Morse. In the next scene we saw the Main Boulevard. On a corner, chatting {27 M. H. S. YEAR BOOK in a friendly way, were Lewis Fletcher, Post-master General, and Norman Alden, Senator from Massachusetts. Some say that the latter will be our next candidate for President. As we watched, they entered a nearby restaurant, bearing the sign: “Italian food served here by the famous chef, Steve Mandelesi.”’ The head waitress was Lena Leonelli, a secret partner of the propriet- ress, Rose Vicino. By this happy arrangement Rose acted as cashier, while Lena collected the tips. A few doors from the restaurant hung a large sign, Faria Motor Sales. Arthur Faria had reason to be proud of the beautiful cars on display in the show room. He was fortunate, too, in having obtained Virginia An- drews to demonstrate these lovely streamlined models. | On the Main Boulevard of Mansfield I saw Evelyn Mason pedaling amid the whirling trafic. She had become famous for originating the side- car bicycle. A very clever idea! The next scene showed the Mansfield Court House. There before the jury stood Louise Morini, District Attorney, arguing a case. By her side was Ruth Boynton, a detective. It is said that Ruth always got her man. On the bench sat Judge Carolyn Packard, noted for her stern, but kind heart. ; Suddenly a light flashed and the screen went blank. I nearly touched the roof when I heard the loud explosion which followed. The smoke finally cleared away, and there sat Professor Verdi, scientist and inventor, but no machine. ‘The telometer had blown up! Ah, well, one failure is worth while if success finally comes! I know all about my famous classmates, but I can hardly stop laughing when I think of Professor Verdi's wonderful machine. Shades of the famous one-horse chaise! {sgh M. H. S.

To the juniors: Don’t forget that you are not quite grown up yet, and should always keep in mind the sacredness of the senior’s position. Having concluded our document, we, the Class of 1938, do hereby heave one great sigh of relief, and affix our seal to this, our last will and testament, on this, the twenty-first day of June, in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-eight. Witnesses: Mr. and Mrs. Thin Man Julius Caesar Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Dizzy Dean 3c MMH sony EARS BOOK PAREWELL by Jenevieve Willard ‘Traditionally there is an air of sadness that hovers over a farewell, yet in almost every language the word itself contains the suggestion of a future meeting. The familiar au revoir of the French, when translated, means “to see you again,” while the softly spoken Italian a riverderci has the same significance. Tonight as we, the Class of 1938, say farewell to our fellow students, we face a future dark with uncertainty and conflict. We are about to step into a world of jealous nations, greedy for power and wealth, unmindful of the weak and poor. War clouds gather on the horizon and economic unrest disturbs our own country. Perhaps that is why we like to dwell on the fact that through the darkness darts a gleam of hope that the ties we have made here will remain unsevered and help us overcome the difficulties ahead. How truly the poet, Matthew Arnold, envisaged this age when he pleaded: “Let us be-true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams So various, so beautiful, so new Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.” The time has come when we must take leave of our teachers, whose sympathetic and competent guidance has given us a strong foundation on which to build. In fact, the time has come when we must say good-bye tu all that has been so familiar to us in the past. Let us look beyond the present to a continuance of the friendships that we have enjoyed during our high school career and banish the sadness tingeing this farewell by looking forward to future meetings. Let us use the Spanish expression of farewell, which is so appropriate, and merely say to one another, “ T asta la vista!” [39 } MeSH? SaevdcA RS BOOK CLASS SONG by Mary Elizabeth Belcher [ 40 ] My oH Se YEAR BOOK CLASS SONG by Mary Elizabeth Belcher As the rosy dawn lights the eastern hills, To herald the coming day, We face the years with determined wills, And eagerly scan life’s way. We seek fresh summits to attain, And all but lofty heights disdain. May the courage and hope of life’s bright morn Through the afternoon prevail; Each failure bring a faith reborn, The stormy peaks to scale; Each triumph give us humbleness, The will to serve, the power to bless. When the sinking sun has gone to rest, Suffusing the distant plain With the radiant glow of his fiery crest, A glory of golden rain, Then shall we come to life’s last mile, A song in our hearts, on our lips a smile.
