THE SUN DIAL Senior Class Poem Montreat has grown dearer to us day by day, But ah! we can’t linger; we must be on our way. For we’ve chosen the way that our Maker has planned And we cannct fail now; we must be true to His command. We’ve been harbored in Montreat for two short years But we set sail tomorrow amid sighs and tears. Our helmsman has been chosen— He’s the Maker of men— Tho’ the plan of our voyage is yet unseen. Out beyond the sunset, can we but find the way, Is the beautiful city of fame where we shall make our stay. We cannot find this wondrous city by traveling a short day, But through long patient laboring, and by what we do and say. So here’s to you our Faculty and friends Who have helped us so faithfully to accomplish this end. And when we’ve arrived in this city so fair There’s not one in our class, we think, would dare To accredit only herself on being there. But we will give to each of you your due share. —Elaine Hatchell Class Poet.
