Oh. bless thine decent walls and gracious plan, Thy colurnn's superscribed taith prolong! O, astral mother ot my transient soul, And guarding father o'er my callow thoughts, Ol tilial, true love on endless scroll A vow to thee with earnest hand is wrought. What son could e'er torget a mother's care That tears ot transitory trials e'er dight, The hoary wisdom ol his lather's hair, The face that shines the truth of good and right? What hands but Cod's could bind with shores a sea? What hand but His could've destined me lor thine? What words but His could tell my love tor thee, Which e'er shall chart the starry course ot time?

Senior Class History n September I938 a band ot about 250 pilgrims started out on a three year iour- ney to commencement with Quentin Grant, President: Cecil Kelsey, Vice President: June Westcott, Secretary: William Drew, Treasurer: and the cabinet, Doris Smith, Chauncey House, Shirley Anderson, Paul Rorick, Robert Edwards, Jeanette Baldwin. Harry Bard, and Ethel Norberg, as their leaders. One ol the bright spots of this pilgrimage was the Sophomore Reception. Several of the group ioined various clubs and activities while going on their way. After a period of rest we reassembled in the tall of l939. Relieving the old otticers of their duties, Francis Sullivan as President, Ethel Norberg, as Vice President, Quentin Grant as Treasurer, Olga Panko as Secretary, took charge. They were ably assisted by the cabinet: Lillian Hanson, Jean Ward, Jeanette Baldwin, Robert Edwards. Theodore Kohinke, Virginia Larrabee and Chauncey House. Chauncey House, Perry Morehouse, Marshall Eaton, Robert Bagg, and Arthur Torrey distinguished themselves as skillful basketball players. Chauncey, John Weir, Jimmy Champlain, Marshall Eaton and Francis Sullivan gained tame as participants in football. Flora MacFarlane, Jeanette Baldwin, June Westcott, Shirley Anderson, and William Drew enioyed the distinction of being chosen members of the National Honor Society. At the l93'-7 graduation Jean Ward lost all her sister singers of the Girls' Ensemble, so that now she will have to devote herself to solos. Herbert Escher made his debut as an actor in the school play, Going on Seventeen . The Kellogg prize speaking contest took place: Ruth Atkins, June Westcott and Herbert Escher came out the victors. Around Christmas we gave our Junior Reception. Alter pulling through tests and June regents. we disbanded lor a much needed rest. On the third and last year of our iourney our band had dwindled to about I85 but we continued on. ably conducted by President Theodore Kohinke, Vice President Jeanette Baldwin. Secretary Marion Howard, and Treasurer Arthur Torrey. We had the Senior Reception in early autumn. Quite a tew of our pilgrims were added to the National Honor Society. June Westcott, Bill More, Shirley Anderson and Herbie Escher took part in the school play, What a Lite . After breaking down many test barriers we reached our goal-commencement! Happy but rather reluctant to leave each other because ot the ioys we have shared tor three years, we part-each going his own way but having in his heart lingering thoughts and memories of the pilgrimage through the halls ol Oneonta High School.
