Class Poem When, after the years have jaded. After the dawn is past. And you live not for present memories. But the memories which have passed; May D ' c, in this little volume. Have stored some thoughts for you Thai will bring hack pleasant memories Of the friends nihom you loved so true. As you turn its golden pages. And think old thoughts anew. The things which once seemed tiresome Will cheer you tvhen you ' re blue. Life ' s sea may have been quite rugged. Or you may not have reached your goal; But may your heart once more be gladdened As you see those friends of old. Not for its sparkling beauty. Not for its value in gold Nor for those rvho studied and labored. Who made it and gave it a soul; But for its value in memories Of the days when you rvere paving the tvay To the destiny which you are approaching; To the manhood you are in today. So eep it if for this reason only To bring back the days of delight. You spent in your dear Alma Mater, When you had but started the fight. —Woods Eastland. sSssshs 19 2 7 CB i iissiiiiis
