Class Poem Dear School, farewell! Tomorrow's noon again Shall hide us, drifting along the various paths of fame, But now each one has gained his western road, And Graduation's hour invites our steps abroad. While, near the open door, each graduate stands :And views the past with many a sad and longing glanceg His heart is filled with thoughts of other days When first he viewed these spacious halls with wondering gaze, Thus, while the sun sinks down to rest, Whate'er we dream, with doubt and endless cares possessed Shall prove the future, although far away Is opening for us a wide, extended bay. How pleasant, as the sun declines, to view The broad and widening landscape change in form and hue! Our class, just as a dusty, misty cloud Mounts from the road and spreads its shadowy, moving shroud, Shall turn their eyes to yonder glorious rays And know the promised joys of life's unmeasured waysg Truth and mercy yet shall find a home, As through bewildered paths we all are wont to roam. ,Ahl we must pass these joys for a nobler life Where we must find the many agonies, the strife Of human heartsg for lol we see afar Our long-sought goal, which beckons like a glimmering star. Vera Holm and Edna Zahnow, '24-. Class Song QTuneJ WHISPERING HOPE. List to the memory of school days, Breathing of lessons we've learned: Oft with a gentle persuasion, Oft with a comforting word. Now when the school days are over, Now when the lessons are done, Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, After the classmates are gone. Refrain: Menomonee High, Oh, how I love thy voice, Making my heart in its memories rejoice. If in the days that are coming, Though we roam ever so ifar, Will not the memories of school days Shine like a glimmering star? Then with this vision before us, Why should the heart sink away? With its soft glow all around us Watch for the breaking of day. Menomonee High, Oh, how I love thy voice, Making my heart in its memories rejoice. John P. Harmon and John H. Fredericks, '24 Page Twenty-jiw I X
