®lu» linin' (Elaas $om Today Ims seen accomplished an ideal Which, for many months, we’ve held before our eyes, The worthy aim of every longing dream; From dusty lowlands we have journeyed here And won many comrades whom we love; And appreciate the teachers who have toiled with us. Only those with happy courageous hearts These promised dreams, success have won. Hut, come, we’ll drain our cup of happiness And revel under fortune’s kindly smile, To the class, the world salutes with joy. Bid the spirit of joy bring garments white, And lock within your hearts this glorious hour. For on this summit we’ll not stand again. Hut. in the midst of riotous reckless mirth Our thoughts speak soberly of things worth while, 'The cumberous rocks that barred our steep ascent, As we look back, like golden milestones gleam. We say goodbye to those comrades we know. And dread the thought of going forth alone; For now our only guides, experience, give As we go out, the lessons of life to learn. Oh, that we could see ahead with fate And know the power of keeping on the height, The meeting of accomplishments and hope. But lift your eyes a voice is heard to say, “The way to triumph is to climb on up” For there will always be a steep ascent; And look, just o’er the crest of the next high peak Is flitting our ideal, way ahead. This one easy slope that we have reached today Is only a stepping stone to greater things. Our last farewells have now been made to you; Oh, X. V. S. S. A. the time is come For us to leave your learned halls; And as we wander, grieved that now We are forced to say goodbye. Vet strange, every object dumb, The desks, the chairs, the pictures seem to erv Farewell! You shall return in years to come. 26 M. B
