(EIubb nf uJumitij-fnir We, the class of twenty-live, Arc but pioneers who strive. We came o’er sweeping prairie With a cautious step and wary Of hostile Indians, who haunt The road with warlike taunt. To challenge our way. We went on and on and o’er Rugged road and weary miles wore Past. Some came to join our band. To travel to the promising land. Tire the journey half complete Wrought with dangers yet to meet, Caine to an end. Dangers, fears, and heavy load Were not all that with us abode. Pleasures, joys, were also ours; Friendly spirit filled the hours; Love in toil .and love in work. Patience, duty, forbade us shirk That to l o done. The journey long and hard to end Has come; and you and 1, my friend Have yet to build this prairie life. With character and honest strife Into a land of ideal beauty. We shoulder now that duty To make it what we will. —T. W
