TO OUR HOME-ROOM TEACHERS TO S. W. B. She never told her love But let devotion, softly scattered Like wandering sunbeams seeking rest Upon some virgin flower, A labyrinth of perennial sweetness gently weave About us. Nor by love alone Has she excelled and magnetized our hearts, But by sacrifice. Little did we dream of her devotion. Her sacrificial tenderness, like the flower of the rock That rears its tiny head unseen And spends its sweetness in the breeze, Till now. But possessed, we pause To bask contentedly in the warm repose of kindliness; To rest secure, serene, by patient Loveliness comforted. TO MISS PETTIS Here’s to you, Miss Pettis, our friend so tried and true! What would our Senior world have been without a pal like you? Our troubles all we told to you, our joys with you we shared, Because we felt you sympathized, because we knew you cared. Wherever you may wend your way, to distant lands or near, Remember that your “sugars” will forever hold you dear. Then here’s to you, Miss Pettis, our friend so true and tried, And may the Class of ’29 in your memory e’er abide! Twenty-Six
