CLASS POEM How swiftly those four years have passed, It seems but a week or more Since we came marching up the hall As Freshmen and Sophfo-mores. These years have been such pleasant onesg They seem more like a dreamg We've pushed aside the skim milkl' And are taking just the cream. Make Way! Make Way! For here we come! Each to take his separate way, But the paths that seem so distant Will unite in one some day. When we've journeyed down the paths That never cease to wind May the Golden Gates swing open To the class of '29, Page Twenty-two
