Mba 'J I , is . 3 59.535 Mawr' J JN' u vi' Q CLASS POE We've climbed the hill, fought well, and Wong And here find rest and still, a greater task yet left undone. We have but one criteriong To leave our task behind, To leave our task completed until the end of time. Life is many battlesg we'll fight it well and see it throughg And not be lacking in completion when our time to go is due. We'll find our path and follow well, on and on without a rest, O'er each thorn, each stone, and hill until the path ends in success. We do not dread the task ahead, but look forward with elation, Because we know each crook and turn leads to a greater destination. Howard M.
