VALE” As you start this commencement with hearts courageous On the path that kind fate has made easy to tread. Let your young buoyant spirits and laughter contagious Never fail nor forsake you, but lead you ahead. As the sun quickly frees the trees, bushes, a.nd mosses From their burden of snow on a balmy Spring day, So your smiles and kind acts will annihil¬ ate crosses And will vanquish the cares that encum¬ ber your way. Keep your eyes on the goal, never fumble nor falter, Play with zest every moment of life’s busy game, Offer ease and vain pleasures, though dear, on ihe alter Of exalted ambition for honor and fame. And remember the days we have spent with each other In hard study and play, mixing learning with fun, Your kind teachers profuse with advice like a mother, Your stern principal guiding like a father his son. For we too will remember your bright, hap¬ py faces; The two Charlies, the playful, wellmean- ing, no doubt, And our basket-ball Banta who shines at foot races, And our Comstock, the actor, more agile than stout; The sweet manners of Anna May Canavas ini, The entertainments of Gladys, the sociable dame, Joseph Glikbarg in eloquence rivalling Heney, Veta Jones, the sedate, sure to gain her high aim; Anna Burleigh, the quiet, conscientious stud¬ ent, And Rowena, the learned, who never forgets, Seth Mackay, often studious, thoughtful, and prudent, And our Kitty, the gay, who neither wor¬ ries nor frets; Clever Jessie, whose tongue never wearies of chatter, Isabel Gilbert the gifted, in music and art, Genevieve Farrell, the artist not less than the latter. Ever ready for action and doing her part; All of you we’ll remember with tender affec¬ tion, With best wishes and hopes for your future career. And quite oft we will muse on the fond recol¬ lection Of the four years of study enjoyed with you here. MARTIN SINGER, 25
