T H E o R A c L E THE 1930 CLASS POEM Read by J-EANNETTE ONDERDONK Amidst our happy revelry We pause, our Voices still Long-cherished hopes and dreams awake NVith joy our heartbeats thrill, From out the hidden, distant scene, This glad and joyous morn, A far-Hung trumpet call resounds, On gentle zephrys borne, Entrancing, sweet, compelling tones Across the distance float, The dulcet lure of hopes fulfilled Is echoed in its note: And yet throughout its cadences There runs a summons stern, A challenge from the mighty world Those powers We must learn! The call of life has come to us At last, for Woe or weal, Dear Classmates, we must hearken to Yon stirring bugle peal! Not all of us may reach the heights Of fortune or of fame, But our most humble tasks shall be Imbued with noble aim. So forward now, with heads held high, Let 1930 go Into the strife that lies ahead, To battle with the foe. IIHI
