CLASS POEM AU RE VOIR Soon again these halls will hear the still Unechoing quiet of late June, and sense Another class departed from the hill, And wait new seniors for their autumn recompense. Where the forked roads run ribbon-wise we stand Today, stand face-to-face with Fate; Eagerness in the heart and in the hand, Gladness beneath the rhythm of our gait. As school halls empty, footfalls dying out, As these feet, tramping now to class, and now to game, Take to strange highways, shall it come about That some go wandering into halls of Fame? Then, shall we follow star-paths swift and high, Or take some lower road that beckons far? Follow the higher things, remembering well To leave untouched the worthless things, that mar. A rougher road must force a slower pace; We may grow weak, and weaklings wilt and fall; But at its end, a goal lures on the race Of such as see the end, so give their all. As wildflowers by the way first bud, then bloom, We long to flower on heights we would ascend, The heights of honor! May we still find room For service! May we, pausing, aid a friend! If like a wild rose drained of dew we wilt, Our flowering brief, we hope that at our best We glowed with beauty in the sandy silt; Upon Life’s highway, gave some traveler zest! Now on the signpost at the forking road we read: “Honor and Progress.” Its old arm points straight. May we find honor! And in progress may we lead! And may today be for tomorrow a wide gate!
