THE 1925 4 Class n c nt Gone are the golden days! Men call them thus, Though often we have failed to find them, The gilded glitter and joyous gleam. Our elders fondly have to tell us of. We doubt them not; just as the mountain stream Clears from the miner’s pan the sand and silt And leaves the precious yellow grains behind. So will the very quickening flood of time Sweep the dull, during dross from memory’s hoard, And brings a beauteous luster to the light. Past is our college life! Oh how we have To turn our eyes back to that dav of days When we first entered Morris Harvey’s halls. Fresh from the furrowed farm withal to learn. Or full sophisticated from the swing. And where of cities, knowing, all of all, Excepting one small thing — our ignorance! But we are one todav, the college hall. Impartial equalizer of mankind. With cooling atmosphere, has cleared our brains, And broader, deeper, sane , pends us forth. Here part our paths; henceforth no fostering will Controls our steps and lends us a kindlv hand. To calm us. troubled, raise us when we fall. The hand remains, tis true, but in our pride And strength of manhood, independent grown. We are now contented to keep within The radius of the arm that bore ns up. But Ion to sail above some new known swell. So let it ever be. throughout the world The e 0n must higher than father ' - a h. 1 mankind strive upward through the years. We mav not exalt a father’s name. But God forbid th»t one shall drag it down. And now, farewell. Ma each on® H ,r e his life As bes comes the friend of those he loves. Striven to serve each dav his fellowman. And with the p udit of a loving God. J. B. P. Page 23
