iHi-Uimes Class Poem As sailors in a mighty port We entered Mercer High, To sail upon the roaring deep And meet the deep blue sky. Then to the stern our students crept, With courage strong and true; They conquered tempests as they came And sailed the Ocean blue. Sometimes our course was not so clear Sometimes we were depressed, But now the port we sought is near With honor we are blest. Our banner’s floated o’er the school Our mast of white and green, We’ve kept it waving ever high That it may well he seen. It fills us with a sense of love A love for loyalty, And takes us to our Freshmen days With all their jollity. Our Sophomore days, and Junior, too, We hate to pass beyond, For then, we know, our Senior ones Will very soon be gone. In sports and in the contests, too, Our students did their best. With truth and victory as their goal They always stood the test. Our warning words to all our friends Our friends of Mercer High, Are, “Do your best, for all the while School days are slipping by.” For very soon and very sure You’ll sail into the port, So may your efforts all be true And not the idle sort. We sec a light that beckons us One glowing left and right, We hear a voice that’s calling us, Long live the blue and white! —Phyllis Blake.
