THE EMBLEM Page Twenty-Five l GLASS POEM Prelude OW soon the days of our springtide have fled And grey-bearded Time marching on with sure tread Tells us the day to part is before us QWhen each one's own special fate hangs o'er ns. Pleasantly summers have bloomed and fled, Followed by autumns which onward have sped, Leading to winters which for youth do not drag, 'Till fleet-footed spring returns, nor doth lag. As we part to encounter the world's rougher weather Come back to our minds days happy to- getherg And when in the grown-up world, sin- ner and saint, tlVlay the former reform, and the latter not tfaintlj Let high school memories bind with a spell That never will break, though our lips say farewell. LOOKING BACKWARD Girls G-lee Club 1nem'ries linger long And happy days we joined in song. For sad or weary in lonely world, There's nothing like melody uufurled On the whirling floating' breeze To put. the heavy heart at ease. lietter yet we heard the cheer From athletic fields each year, ln tennis and base hall some did shine, ull track and basket bail, each in time. Some hiked, jumped. ran. for health, they say, To build strong' workers for future day. Boys In this class ol' twenty-nine W'e1'c athletes so strong and fine. On the track some did shine, And some on field of the chalk lineg Boys of the court we have not shunned, Nor the nine of the diamond. 'Tis the managers of these teams The boys on whom the glory beams. We had boys, too, with musical giftg NVhen first asked to sing, they balked and sniffed, But after they practiced and rehearsed You'd say they were very far from worst. Some played by note, and some by ear But you c0uldn't find better. far or near, They played here, and they played there, But best at operetta and fair. LOOKING FORWARD Girls NVith music, laughter, and dances, The prophets show to us our chances Girls with pencils, book. and rule lVill teach the children in public school Some to college make their way H0 vine to do 'treat thinfrs some day . I Cs D I' . Lawyers, professors, or ministers be, Take a nurse's or doctors fee, But if a writer, 'tis easy to say 'Tis not so simple to think the right way. Some leave to go to the business field To such may Fortune rich treasure yield As clerks, and typists, in office work Whatever comes. they will never shirk Nor let good ellanees pass the eye To get somewln-re by and by. Mayhap like tortoise, sure but slow, NYe'll do the deed wewe Colne to know. And when work's done, we'll all agree To enjoy ourselves. and merry be. Boys As we look on into the limelight. lYhieh is so glaring' and so bright, XYe see lawmakers. orators, too, Doing their bit for the red. white, and blueg
