The Secret in the Nautili BY HELEN L. HINKEL I ! L- swf' Q Through a Vale of Years flowered with smiles and with tears The Human Race is run 7 'Twixt innumerable streams which converge it seems Wh H' en lgh School Heights are won. For thence with a sigh as Semester Shores fly, They tumble into Life's Ocean! And existence there means Man Molecule's share In the play 'Terpetual Motion. Yet the drops in each stream form the organized thing Th t 1 a ater is one with the sea. Though he fail-though he win-every man must.begin As a Drop of Humanity! Thus a volume is born at High School Course Morn In the basin of S. M. High. The plan it pursues and the course it may choose Are marked as it babbles by! Events, like gay flowers, deck Monotonous Hours Upon the Banks of Days. Breezes of Song woo Sprite Spirit along In games the Water plays. Till Commencement Height inspires a fright Which bids the flood to pause. When its Vic'try is old, will its fame be told To the tune of the Surf's applause? If the inflowing tide mingles far-wanders wide, And each drop separates, Can Memory's hand weave a sea-spanning strand Twixt Shores of Time and Fate? When queries from posterity-the natural fruits of reverie- Cast Doubt Shades on its course Shines there a Lamp of History to penetrate sufficiently Forgetful Fog's remorse? Yon shore is strewn with Natutili-jewels preserved in poetry. Grandiloquent of Dawn A stream might stow its secret there and other streams could stop to share The tale ere hurrying on A steady stream from S. M. High in '25 is rippling by To join Life's Ocean, too. Into each Nautilus on the shore it seals its story evermore And sends the shell to you! Page Five K..11m-L,r
