SHAW UNIVERSITY JOURNAL CLASS FORM Today, a day of shadows emblazoned by the sun of memory, And stilled by the placid voice of duty, Calls us from these scenes of concrete theory Beyond the portals of life’s enriching beauty. Ere we approach the eve that leads unto yon vista dawning, Our souls, perturbed by the profound recess of grief, Inscribed indellible appreciation upon memory’s mooning, As effulgently resilient with love we hail our Alma Mater chief. Dear Shaw, the cherished school of our unfaltering trust, Majestically standing ’mid monumental scenes of grandeur, Imbue us with glorious truth — you inevitably must — While departing ' we take you as our guiding star and lure. Shaw, Sh aw, ’though praise and adoration of the mystic moon Resound within realms resplendent with suspended hopes, Never can we hallow thy name with sufficient adorn To perpetuate thru the expanse of years thy never dying notes. May all our walks in humanity’s train of fame Direct us forever, dear Shaw, to the standards set by you. May our lips never cease to proclaim the same, ’Till time has imprinted “Shaw” upon living skies of blue. Farewell to thee, dear Shaw, farewell, hut not goodbye; How sweet the memory still as we do now depart; How dear the grasses, the grounds, and buildings high, (), Immortal Spot, may loyalty never from thy banners part. Wit.mottt C im:n. CLASS SONG (Tune of il ty Tank) For years we dreamed of higher education, To Shaw we came for that matriculation; We were as green as freshmen always are And thought of home and friends, And thought of home and friends The whole year through. Our upperclassmen years were grand and bright; We never lost the beacon of the light; We mastered every course by work and prayer! And gave our best in all, And gave our best in all To dear old Shaw. We trust that we have met yonr expectation, And now that we are near our graduation— We pledge to remember you so fondly, And always give our aid, And always give our aid To thee Dear Shaw. A. I,. Scarborough. E. Elizabeth Cooley. Twenty-five
