Our day of parting comes at last; { We’re going to leave you now. • We’ve studied hard yet had much fun, In classes and at play. Yea! Many victories have we won— ( That gallant Viking way! i Ere we depart we’ll drink a toast To dear ones who’ve ever been true; : Tis of our parents that we boast, : And of our teachers too. At last we stand at the threshold— I Anew our life to begin. ( With high hopes we part from Blue and Gold ( To face the world and win. Oh, one and all we bid adieu. Departing we’ll shed a tear; j But someday we’ll have a rendezvous At Rowe with classmates dear. I —Willard Puffer. 26
