ff e, if N f f i it ff THE NEHCU i i- Graduation The warm June night is stirring all the trees With faint, sweet breathg and now through Woodland deeps And leafy lanes and city streets there creeps A mighty murmur as of some great army: lt is the voice of a million hearts Now facing life-the soul of a Nation's youth, VVith all their ardent yearning for the truth- The Spirit of the Class of '22: i Tonight the gates of life swing wideg Before our eyes the battle-plain of life, We hear the clash and clang of all its strife, And sounding in our ears the call-to-armsg Till now, we've gaily laughed and danced life through, VVith fleeting glances at its darker side Now must we go into the fray without a guide? Oh who will give us arms, and lead the way ? The voice of the Spirit lingers into silence, A silence great and dark and deep as Death- And all the world now seems to hold its breath As from out the depths of the dark night comes the Answer: O you who stand, with awe-filled, fearful hearts, Before the world embroiled in turmoil .hre- Lift up your gaze from the trampled mire To the far-off height where gleams the Holy Grail. Fight on against the evil of the earth, But all the while, give of your youthful gladness And hope and joy to drive away the sadness That now enfolds the world in misty gloom: VVith patience carry on your daily tasks, Your eyes unfaltering on your Shining Goalg And for the modern world create a Soul That turns from grasping Sordidnem to God! Dorothy Hobson, '22. Payr Tfwvlw' -M-F2 -
