OUR FAVORITE POEM Semper Fideles O Friendship! Ray of light divine! O thou That like a moonbeam soft into a room Doth steal, suHering radiance! O how Thy power doth soothe and calm the soul-A loom That weaves a golden thread into our life, Thou brighten'st all,' Thou art a God-sent thing! How could we mortals here so rent with strife, Exist without thee-boon to serf and king! God knew this and sent thee, thou like a ray Of sunshine pure and warm doth meet our beings In accord with thee. Thus, as a breath of May, Much laden with rich odors comes and brings A thrill of life that mak'st all memories gay, Of worthwhile friendships along our way! -M. G. M. OUR FAVORITE SONG Memories Round me at twilight come stealing, Shadows of days that are gone,- Dreams of old days revealing, Memories of Love's Golden dawn. Sunlight may teach me forgetting, Moonlight brings thoughts that are new,' Twilight brings sighs and regretting, Moonlight means sweet dreams of you. Refrain- Memories, memories, dreams of things so true, O'er the Sea of Memory I'm drifting back to you Eighteen

OUR FATE QTHE PETITIONQ Hail oracle! fortunate man, We are graduates, a small band Who studied in education's hall, Then graduated proudly, one and all. And now that commencement day has Hown Are we using the privileges by diploma won? O oracle, tell this eager band What fate and fortune are in thy hand? Reveal to us what the future day Has stored for us along life's way, Of joy or sorrow on us to fall. Tell us, oracle, tell us all. CTHE ANSWERJ Hark! I am of prophetic mind Perhaps some truths I can find Stay! Gaze on life's crystal ball It will reveal the fate of all. Yea! I see you traveling on, The road of life seems hard and long, I see paths that turn here and there, Some lead to heights-some to despair. Climb, climb, and as on you go, Opportunities will beclron you. Tasks that will oft require Valiant hearts and ambition's Ere. Yes, some will grasp each proffered chance, And further to the goal advance. Others, oh 'tis sad to say Will droop like weeds along the way. What men call treasure, often dross An account of nothings, paid with loss. Life seems a jest of Fate's contriving, Only secure in everyone's conniving. Some day the Ideal that you wooed, Will confront you, fiercely, much pursued. O graduates, live up to the promises of your youth Be loyal, brave, and ever faithful to truth. Let perseverance ever be your boast. Never, never mindful of the cost, Be ever mindful of life's prize, Through strenuous efforts you will rise. O listen, while I say again, Defend your rights, be always men, Invade the world where success lies Wrest through toil, the coveted prize. -E.B Ninetee
