UHeer Usk bois i AND) GOLD Class Poetry me = ah = DYN ‘; ; CLASS POEM They will meet and they will miss us, There will be three vacant seats, With the haughty Seniors missing, Hearts will break and cease to beat. Four long years within this schoolroom Have we bowed to law and rule; Four long years we’ve worked together Learning why we go to school. We have worked through cloud and sunshine; We have smiled when things went wrong, Now, at last, we’ve reached the highway Though the hill was rough and long. At life’s cross-road we’ll be parted, Each alone his path must take, On that path we’ll learn the lesson, Learn to labor and to wait. Just a word to those who follow, To the ones who take our place: Juniors, you must do us credit, Do your best while in the race. Sophomores, too, must heed our warning, Seniors you will stand some day, Work with zeal for man and country, ’Ere from school you go away. Now, to warn the humble Freshmen We were Freshies in our time, Labor hard to win your credits And.you too, will make the climb. When we’re gone, we’ll still remember Memories dear will not erase; And we'll think with fond remembrance Of each true and loyal face. So, farewell, before we leave you, Now, we’ll say a last goodbye, May you profit by our errors And win fame for our dear HIGH. SALUTATORY Reverend Father, dear friends: We wonder if you can realize just how proud we are of this privilege of appearing before you tonight and bidding you welcome to the simple ceremonies in which we are able to participate as the very first class passing out into the world of real work from the four year course of our and your parish high school. We are so small in number that we might perhaps feel more humble than we do, did we not understand full well the unique place we are to hold in the history of this school through all the years that are yet to come. Classes will come and go; boys and girls will pour forth from these doors in all the pride of a finished course of study; men and women in years to come will look back with fond recollections to the days of their school life within these walls; but there will never be another class like unto this in all the years that are to be. We alone OO o-oo eo B can be the first, even if those who follow may be larger, wiser and better and more attractive from the world’s point of view. But you, dear Reverend Father, and you, our parents and friends, who have by your kind and persistent labors made it possible for us to graduate here tonight from this peaceful place, have a right to ask of us that we show our col- ors, give voice to our principles, our aims and our ambitions; for it is through them and what we make of them, that all honor must reflect back upon the school whose seal we bear. We trust that you may ever find us faithful to those virtues for which you have taught us to stand as we face the problems that are to confront us outside, and so be leading lights to the classes which follow us. And now, to you all, we can only in our feeble way attempt to express our pleasure in your coming. We are truly glad to have you with us.
