1933 Methuen High School Wc t l ftmrfr Jjl §$ mxh% tgl] ji cl|nal By time ' s embrace, thy hallowed walls To us have been made dear; Within thy ivy-crowned walk We gleaned the wisdom of the seer. — Elizabeth Orr, ' 32 Amidst beauteous and artistic environments, we have spent our unfor- gettable high school career. To us, this magnificent edifice was like a stately castle of abundant interests and a veritable album of pleasure. In every nook flourished art. Its inner structure, its exterior, and the wonder- ful outdoor surroundings of resplendent nature inspire us with admiration and appreciation of art. The walls, emblazoned with marvelous portraits depicting historical spots of beauty the world o ' er, delight us. Fittingly indeed was this building named for the generous gentleman who presented it to our town! We depart to the multitudinous callings of Destiny regret- ful to leave this source of vast happiness. Not only the actual building itself, but also the soul of the building, stirs us. Our noisy tread, our gleeful laughs, and our variously expressioned faces will be silent echoes and invisible spirits; but the impressions of this handsome building will be vividly retained in our minds to infinity. Majestically watching sentinel ... .goodbye! May you instill our successors with the same breathless awe and rapture as you have filled us! May the underclassmen preserve and cherish your traditions as we have attempted to do. Now I turn to the future for wine and bread: f have bidden the past adieu. I laugh and lift hands to the years ahead: Come on: I am ready for you! — Edwin Markham
