Senior (Haas flom CAN zee believe four years have sped azrny. Like szvift evanishment of fleecy cloud Since first zee classmates met? The time allozvcd Was all too brief for sacred friendship's day. For common aims have linked their silver chain About our lives, and zee zecrc unified In act and sympathies, as side by side IVc thought and read and dreamed and thought again. But nozv alas! Time blazes his bugle blast, Commanding us to zeend unzeonted ways. But tho' zee parted be by nights and days, This pre-arranged farezeell call not the last. But these four years have built a grand zeatch-tozecr From this our age the honored past to see. Bygone events in ghostly pageantry Have tramped forth from their silent shady bozeer. And zee communed zeith master spirits great. Who erstzehilc this terrestrial ball did grace, Who sazu in sordid life an angel's face And sang to give the world a fairer state. Oh. zee have handled royal treasures here In giant hours by zeorthy sages mined From Nature's bosom, seeking to unbind The secret of the universal sphere. But as zee wandered, dozen these wondrous days Our z'ision had not Hewed the vistas fraught With images of mind, had there been naught Of teacher's light illumining the haze. We ozve our debt to our preceptor's care, Whose hopeful optimism labored on. As tho’ they saw for us the distant dozen Of better days and nez’er kneze despair. 2b

departed from Temple. Among these organizations arc the Philos Dramatikos, the Forum, the Debating Society, the day department of the V. Y. C. A., the Temple University Bible Union, and the College Girls’ Club. Our class originated the idea of giving a Junior Promenade and altho it was not quite feasible in our Junior year, we hope that succeeding Junior classes will be able to make this an annual event at Temple. As Seniors, despite our heavy rosters, our pep has not been waning, and as a result of our labors, we show you The Templar compiled and published by the Senior Class—Temple's hirst Year Book! We also expect to start the custom of having Senior week at Temple. This week will mark a fitting climax to the activities of the Class of '23. And now that our College days at Temple arc rapidly drawing to a close there is impressed on us more and more a feeling of love and of tender regard for our Alma Mater. Year alter year, on Founder’s Day, we have l een profoundly moved to great respect for the great man who has founded Temple and for the important work Temple has to do. We go forth into life proud of our Alma Mater and humbly hoping that Temple may be proud of us. 25

And we our Alma Muter Temple praise. Unhidden city, set upon a hill With radiating light the vales to fill. To guide mankind from ignorance, darkened maze. Thou. Father Con well, inspiration true, Prophetic fervent voice of this our age, Achicz'ing greatness on this earthly stage; Strong soul, herw far our tributes fail thy due. These years, these golden years have sped away; They zvrit themselves on mind's retentive page. By pouring out their goodly heritage And bid us forth as messengers today. Now under Temple's pennant all unfurled. We join the legions marching from these halls In unknowyt ways, to help to answer calls Which issue from the hungry hearted world. We go, and would be filled with loyalty, Our Alma Mater Temple never stain, Obey the tug and pull of duty's rein. And honor Class of Ninetecn-Twcnty-Threc. ). F. Dorman. n
