$$ err CLASS POEM PAGE 14 Class Poem When comes glad Spring, with all her vernal joys Unveiled; when verdant Summertime awaits The coming of her noon; then dawns the day When loving friends must leave these hallowed halls. The spirit sweet of bounteous Nature’s joys Is tinged now with sadness, lasting, keen. Sweet Friendship, what a treasured light is thine, That spreads adown the future’s misty halls, Nor shrinks nor fades in glimm’ring doubt o’erspread, But brightens, richens, mellows as we view it, And bathes us in its radiant, sunny warmth. The halcyon days of High School, hallowed times! For so they seem to us, impatient ones Who strove by wiles and cunning to evade Our teachers, (patient souls), and books, and tests: We wished them all beyond the ocean’s strand. But now, as summer brings us to their end, We sigh, and long in parting yet to stay Amongst their simple joys. : Enough of this! the greedy world awaits. A tear we leave, a parting clasp exchange, A ling’ring thought to High School’s sheltered calms ; To joys received by thankless, selfish hands ; To school life’s charms, the Springtime of our lives; To friendships, strengthened as the years pass on. For all of these we sigh in sadness deep ; To all we leave a lasting, fond adieu. W. A. H. Cuurcu, U3

'14, '15, '16; Spring Play, '17; Tech Life Staff, 16,17; Players’ Club, '16, '17. Fred Baily’s a middy so gay; Sends wireless notes all the day; He looks awful cute In his sailor boy’s suit, But of “sparking” has nothing to say. GRACE BARBER Linden, Maryland. Gracie has a little lamb, And comes with her to school, And, strange to say, no one objects, Nor does it break the rule. CLAIRE C. BEATY There is a fellow named Beatty, Whose studies have not been so weighty. But now he’s joined our cavalry, A gailant soldier may he be! SADYE BERGAZIN 1240 Seventh St., N. W. Basket Ball, ’14, 15, ’16; Tennis, ’15, 16. This is Sadye, the queen, Who is very often seen Arriving quite late, What shall be her fate she doesn’t toward promptness lean? If
