The Spy Glass 1929 Senior Class Poem AT last we have come to that sad day of days, When friends, pals, and classmates must part, When all of us leave on the different highways, With mingled emotions of heart. Some of us sad, and some of us glad. that the day of parting has Colne, But all of us have a sinall pang of regret, that the daily co1npanionship's done. There are those of us who feel bitter remorse for the opportunities lost, They realize now that it's over, what days of idleness cost. Coutrasted with those are our classmates, who've utilized each happy day, With hard work and study, they're glad of it now, and know that it really does pay. Idler, worker, thinker, they're looking back over the years, Of fun. and laughter, and friendship, of worries, heartaches and tears. And niost of theni look to the future, and wonder what it can hold. And wonder which of thein will survive, when thrown on the world harsh and cold. No one can look to the future, we all just hope for the best, Who can tell who will sink in oblivion, and who will stand all the tests. lt's puzzling to think that there're those of us, who'll the heights of glory acquire, While others who've been by our sides all these years, will struggle-to sink in the mire. There are some who will settle down right here at homey some who will roam all the seas, Some will be held down by foolish convention-some will do just as they please. Soine will be wicked and sinful, some will bring souls to the fold, For some the honie fires will be shining bright, some will be left in the cold. These are the thoughts of the Senior Class, of whom all have passed the tests, For four long years, and are sorry now, to say, good bye dear old T. H. S.
