Page Eighteen To the Class Mates of '24 Four years have rounded life's fair bend, On time's untiring pinions, Since first we met as friend to friend, Gave o'er our heart's dominions. The road before seemed clear and bright, Who ever thought of trouble? We shuffled on from left to right, Thinking life was just a bubble. Three years roll by and on we pass From curiosity to wonderg We journey on like any class Though oft' our efforts blunder. When one had luck ,we all were glad And laughed at Fortune's frowningg When one had sorrow, all were sad, All oppositions drowning. Disputes we had, and bitter hours Which threaten friendship rending, But these were brief like summer showers, In firmer union ending. But now this path that stretched so bright, To many a road's just startingg The cry rings out, To Left! To Right! And this is friendship's parting. We know not to what foreign strand These many paths may reach, But we move out with that glorious band To fields that wait for each. We can't take, in this tide of life, Our class flower and colors everg But our Motto's good for any strife, Forward Ever, Backward Never. Relentless Fate cannot alone These many friendships sever, If each holds place within the heart, We'll still fare on together. E. M. B., Class '24.
