THE DARDA SENIOR CLASS POEM As sunshine is to water, And as laughter is to love, As winds that blow to bending trees, As clouds to stars above, So thy spirit, old Trevecca, is to us. ' Tis a spirit firm, impelling, Putting purpose in our life, With its motto, On, on, forever! Not contented with the strife. As one feels the dawn approaching, Ere one sees the glorious sun, We sense the things that lie beyond Which are worthy to be done — Unseen, half-dreamed, the waiting tasks in store for us. ' Tis then we answer quickly To thy ever-sounding call, And, on answering, bless Trevecca For the urge that moves us all. Zenith Jordan, Class Port. =anc=o CLASS WILL We, the members of the Senior Class, before taking our departure after a stay of many happy days, do wish to make right and due disposal of all our properties, collec- tive and individual.
