 RAMBLER Senior Class Poem CLASS POEM. Why do I seem so pensive— VVhen in memory 1 try to recall The pleasures of days spent in High School And those, who have shared them all? Held close in the shadows of twilight, Our town in its beauty lies; And the good old High School building Seems standing before my eyes. And classmates! O dear classmates; What times we’ve had together; On the high seas, we’ve sailed with Aeneas, In all kinds of storm}' weather. We saw old Nero start the lire, Caesar’s bridge, we built quite well; We burned poor Dido on the pyre, And aimed with Wilhelm Tell. We excelled in Physics and Botany— In Geometry and Civics, too; And Algebra—the “bane” of our life— We managed to get through. Dear old High School, we ne’er shall forget you, We have shared in your smiles and your tears; In your halls, institution, so noble, We have spejit four of youth’s precious years. Years just when we needed the guidance— To give our thoughts nobler form— Of our unselfish, high-minded teachers, Who have guided our way through the storm. And we, by our unceasing efforts, Have calmed the billows of strife; And are wafted, glad and victorious, By the side of the highway of life. And now, in this time of parting, We reverence with feelings, keen. The tics that bind together The “Loyal Class of ’16.” But the pleasant past is receding. The future stands at the gate; We can shape our success or misfortune, We are masters of our fate! As— We began in Xewcomerstown High School, Under the Green and Gray, As we solved our little problems In an honest, upright way, So— Let us fight life’s bigger battles. And to greater things aspire; Ever mindful of our motto— To “First Deserve—Then Desire!” V. L. B.. ’16. (12)
