OCATUIdA ' r ' i» ' :4,,.A i - - - Class Poem V ENVOI There ' s a burning fire in the heart of us, And the gleam of it ' s in our eye: And there is a will in the soul of us, And we who pass you by, Shall now go where the strong winds blow, Where no other feet have trod. In the Great Unknown, with a rendezvous To keep with Life and God. Aye; We know that the trails are long and steep; Ere we reach our rendezvous. There ' s many shall faint; there ' s many shall fall, But not the ones you knew! For there is a will in the soul of us. And we carry a talisman. A memory, ever in the heart of us. The Spirit of Wesleyan! — John Earl Sims. rv.T ENNESSEE WESLEYAN [i[i ? «|l ATHENS, TENNESSE E
