1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 CLJSS MOTTO Trj) CLASS COLORS SILVER AND ROSE If I were an artist, I’d try, Sir, The beauty in life to disclose; Td try to interpret earth’s secrets With colors of silver and rose. The reason I’ve chosen these colors And not those of some other hue. Is because they belong to the Seniors, Marlborough High “27”—so true. The rose stands to me for the sunshine That helps to make all burdens light; And silver I’d use for the star-shine That peek-a-boos through the dark night. Then, too. I’d take silver for raindrops, The coin used by old Alother Earth, And rose for the sweet apple blossoms— The sign of God’s spring, and new birth. Oh, rose and bright silver are fairest Of all of the ' olors we meet,— The one is the glory of sunrise, The other makes twilight complete. The poet has likened God’s mercy To dew in the grass,—silver dew; And rose is for truth that stands with it To guide us in all that we do. Oh how we shall try with our might. Sir, To make our lives silver and rose;— Be kindly to all—that’s for silver. Spread sunshine, love truth—that’s for rose. Audrey E. Cann 18
