THE GREAT ADVENTURE Senior Class Poem By Nan Watkins Our school days ended, life before us lies- A great adventure. Cloudless are the skies; Now time seems but a slave to do our will; Endless to-morrows that with job we fill. Down unknown trails we’ll journey far and free And find the spring-green road to Arcade; But never, never lonely shall we fare, For you’ll be in our dreaming everywhere. The thoughts of school shall with us always be; A true companion--happy memory. Oh, may we dare to dream and dare to do, Loving the truth, and to ourselves be true. May we so work and live through all our days That friends may love us, honest men may praise. Of each misfortune make a sword to slay The dragon worries that obstruct our way. | With heart that’s strong to fight and never win May we not falter when the storms begin; For only fools contentment find and keep. To him who would achieve, the road is steep. The summit’s ever farther on the way And glory’s but a sunbeam, soon to stray Still we must struggle till the day is gone And look across the purple hills to dawn. Be faithful to our work, respect its call. And find it not too great nor yet too small; Each task a blessing and for us the best; We’ll do it well and leave to God the rest.
