SESSCfetofl And oh. how quickly passed the hours, The rooms had seen no change, The self-same vases held the flowers; But the teachers were all strange. The scholars seemed as happy, then, As the boys and girls, today; They talked of games to lose and win, In the self-same youthful way. They talked of Math and Botany, They laughed at foolish pranks; They stumbled through Geometry To find the depth of tanks. And all too soon I saw them go Out through the dear old door; As some will leave that I now know, And leave, to come no more. And all alone I wandered through The corridors and halls; A thousand mem ' ries came anew, And I stared at the walls. Soon to the study room I came, I found it full of ghosts; And I heard through the silence ' s reign The noise of the Dead Hosts. And through the quietude, so mild, The voice of Shields High spoke: ' 0, welcome home, my wand ' ring child, Your step my echoes woke. many have come through my door For a blessing and caress; 1 loved some less, I loved some more, But yours I loved the best. So many of you trod my halls, So few are now alive; I loved you better than my walls, My Class of Twenty-five. $ r Ai$-AiQ

' ' Oh, lucky mortal, who shall know The Future at your will ; Those fifty years wait in a row To speak or to be still. From twenty-five to seventy-five, They wait your beck and call; For then you may not be alive, To see e ' en one and all. From those years you may pick a day, And an object you may see In any month from June to May. And true to life ' twill be. So think right well and choose it well, The thing you would behold ; Though it be building, mount or dell. Make haste, for Time is Gold. Impatiently he looked at me; My brain worked quick and fast. Of future days what should I see? An idea came at last. In seventy-five, I wish to see, On the last day of the year, The Shields High School as it will be, And how it shall appear. Out of the mists before me grew The form I knew so well ; The grass seemed wet with morning dew, I heard the ringing bell. I climbed again the olden steps, They seemed almost worn through; Minerva, still, though sung, unwept, With spear and staff, stood true. The office door was crowded, too, With tardy girls and boys ; But I saw no one whom I knew To share my ancient joys.
