Commencement Day Commencement Day! Four years ago it seemed so very far away We dreaded it for there were some who, With a sigh, would say, Now you are young. Enjoy life while you may. Indeed, these are the happiest days of your life. So how could we but help to dread Commencement Day? But only half believing them, through Philly High We've gone. There were parties, proms, and clubs With their various activities, and football, basketball, Baseball, and track 5 a debate team, too. Were there no studies ? What's that you say? Oh, yes! Yes, surely, we Studied some. That's what gives us our diploma on Commencement Day. Now, before we leave this dear alma mater, My class of Twenty-seven, a vision I'll Relate to you. While I was wondering what to do And what life really means, a beautiful figure Appeared to me. Though a heavy curtain separated Her radiance and her loveliness almost blinded me. She answered my questions about Life and Commencement Day. Thus did Wisdom speak: You who would truly live, obey The words of great Philosophers, To know thyself. To love thy neighbor as thyself. Then, armed with the shield of Truth And the sword of Love, go forth To find the best in life on Commencement Day. Catherine Sayford, '27 Sixteen l1S
