THE BLACK AND GOLD 0112155 IHIJPIII Again, 0 muse, yet once again I seek thy kindly grace, That I may wander in thy realms, And for my classmates find a place Among thy honored few. ,Tis not with sadness come I here, Nay, with gladness and joy I come, For in our hearts is hope, And on our lips a song Tells of the victory we have won, Of the knowledge we have gained, Of the days and weeks and months and years Of the joys and hopes and fears and tears , Of the class of Nineteen-fourteen. Yet in the hour of victory, Let us not forget That he who thinks he conquers Has not won the victory yet. The swift is not always first, The strong does not always win, But he who would gain success Must go on and always say, I can. We must not think with regret Gf the days that have passed away, When a golden future lies before us, And the present we have today To make of it what we will. So let us not look backward, But on the present stay the mind, And every minute fill with labor

THE BLACK AND GOLD For 'tis gone as a passing wind That gently comes and is no more. Let us make the best of what we have, The future is only a dream That may or may not bring pleasure, O class of Nineteen-fourteen. A feeling of sadness comes oler us, As parting time draws near, When we shall bid farewell To scenes that have been so dear. But this is only a step To joys that to us will seem The greatest and best of all the joys, Of the Class of Nineteen-fourteen. YC xp 1 lum ix X Ig I Tix., 'xh',f ' f ill, U nkxwwri, M I u Callie Lewis
