I5o t e Senior (Tla of 1910 I O, the path of knowledge is steep, steep, steep. And long, and stony, and hard; O, the Spring of Learning is deep, deep, deep, But save to the few ' tis barred. I sing to the class that has drunk so deep Tliat though hard-pressed, would ne ' er retreat, That at last has ascended the way so steep. That leads to Seniorhood. II O, the path at firet seemed fair and sweet. You started without any fears. The beginning and end seemed almost to meet; But between lay many a day and week, And many a vale of tears. Ill O, the way grew rugged and rough to the feet. There many a trial stood With many a temptation and many an entreat To return, but you groped through the shadows deep, For beyond lay Seniorhood. IV O, other things from your minds may sweep. Your knowledge of rules and of ancient seers; But you ' ve learned for the sorrows of othera to weep. And the lessons of life and of love you ' ll keep Through the coming years. V O, the path of knowledge is steep, steep, steep, And long, and stony and hard; O, the Spring of Le irning is deep, deep, deep! But save to the few ' tis barred. Tho ' hard be the trials and sorrows you meet In the path-way of life, may you scorn defeat. May your final victory be as sweet as your Seniorhood! B. M. B., ' 11. 23
