IsOxse Odin spake, ' ?5he uind arid sea make dust of jire hese U aniens have blading sun etemal pyre . The God of Wisdom Speaks ' ' ' U fa V» HE waves were wailing on a rugged shore — Oh woe, the Viking ship shall sail no more. Bare, broken bits of hull drift aimlessly, the shrieking wind bears wandering souls of men who sank beneath the waves with stricken ship. - Then lo! on high the God of Wis- dom came and there was calm upon the seething sea. M For death has wrapped these heroes in her veil, spake he, their restless hearts at last have found sweet peace. K ' HROUGHOUT all ages, man lives but a day — a day soon spent, soon lost on winds of time and churning sea of change. - Some live ' til dawn and go in blaze of glory. Some just die at any hour, leaving little light. Weep not for men of Wilfred ' s retinue now gone. Wail not, their fame shall never fade. - The God of Wisdom, speaking, tells you this, Their restless hearts, at last, have found sweet peace. faculty tyranklin c t?. o Ktoon Qeorge Qraves, Jr. Samuel oZMehdi c 3£assar £duard IDral e T pe, Jr. Students TsJilbur Thomas unn Qomelia Jenney l Jesley llgsario T)i Stefano
