—m cosmo m — SENIOR ACADEMY CLASS POEM A i ' fe is a gift from our Father above Do towed upon men such as we Tis granted for service, for labors of love To those whom around us we see. ’Tis granted thru love to the image of Him Who breathed the first breath of our life We dwell for a purpose, we’re here for a cause, We’re living for duty and strife. And talents our Father has granted each man Perhaps they be many or few He asks we develop each gift we have For services most loyal and true. He bids us not bury a talent divine We’d hinder His grand noble cause He needs them, He bids us to use them for Him Regardless of praise or applause. We strive then today with this end in view True service to King of all Kings As low at His altar we humbly bow Each man every talent now brings. We grant them for service where ere it may be He knows our ability best We’re willing to go to the ends of the earth To North, South, the East or the West. Our lives have been formed under most watchful eyes Godly men true workers for Him Careful men, strong in labor and sacrifice Men free from the lust of all sin. We thank our instructors tho we cannot tell Their kindness so noble and great Their patience, their love and diligent care Their lives unto us dedicate. We’re glad for the school we’ve learned to love Long, long may her sacredness live And grow in the knowledge and glory of God Who constantly rich blessings gives. And grow in the knowledge and glory of man For man is the glory of God 0 may she be faithful in service and love As on thru the ages she trods. “Farewell Noble Taylor,’’ we bid thee adieu We’ll leave, but remember thy name When out on life’s billows ever tempted and tossed Then of thee relations we’ll claim. We’ll love thee the more as the years fast roll by We’ll love thee as long as we live And pray for thy progress in Heavenly things Which only the master can give. Asa long lived class we now come to an end A future we each have before The past, tho we love it, we must let pass by We ' ll live the glad days gone no mere. A future, a life for our God to reveal We trust in his infinite power We see not tomorrow but see far beyond To the crown of triumphs’ glad hour. CHESTER ARTHUR HUFFMAN. T. U. A., ’16.
