Senior Snaps 27

Senior Class Poem When we began to grope Up the educational slope, Away back there in childish days of yore, We would often idly dream. How delightful it would seem To never have to study any more. But our fond dreams quickly passed; And in High School we were classed. Now forsooth ' twas a diploma that we sought. And our vision was so small That we tho ' t we ' d know it all And should never need henceforth to be taught. Once again the vain dreams fled; Higher aims came in their stead. Till was born a secret longing in the soul To spend some time in college And delve deeper into knowledge. A liberal education was the goal. So we entered Taylor ' s portal Seeking destinies immortal. For we surely should be sages by and by. We would shake the world ' s foundation With our ponderous education. To be recognized with honor, was our cry. To the tasks to us assigned We bowed humbly; nor repined When we saw the star of honor fade away. For dawn ushered into being A new vision, pure, far-seeing. As we gathered pearls of truth along our way. Now college days are ending And life ' s problems o ' er us pending. We will meet them with an unreluctant soul. Unknown truth herself allures us; And her wondrous voice assures us Love, not self, shall make of life a perfect whole. Ruth Maston. 26
