I’ll long to see again the lands On which my dear old High School stands; And view once more, with longing eves, The halls and classrooms that I prize. I think that I shall never see A place where I had rather be, Than here within your walls so great, From which I’m soon to gr aduate. How often when I’m far away Beneath a gloomy sky of gray, I ' ll think I hear a cheery call. That comes forth from your stately wall! Tho’ I may roam this world so wide, My heart will ever sing with pride; I’ll love you, School, till life shall end. And call vou, always, truest friend. -Homer Beck. ft ft if ft ft ft ft ft A 9 I § ft ft ft © ft ft ft ft 1 § ft m § i ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft w ft ft ft ft ft ft ft A ft ft ft ' ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft: ft ft ft w ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ■if ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft m ft V.V ft ft: Page twenty-three
