Evening, June How Still the Normal School must lx- tonight! A down the western sky the bright sun falls, Ending a day that did not seem half bright, To the assembly room imagination calls And paints in deepening light each empty desk and chair, Where bodied forth a classmate bends reviewing, A patient teacher studies there. And calls to work that need pursuing. So vivid is the thought, I never saw. How kind were all these friendly faces. Till moved by parting into awe. Touched to the soul by these empty places. For faithful teachers memory clear. Recalls affection that was ne'er expressed, The heartfelt words past speaking here, To those whose lives our own impressed. [ ol 0, 1915 Who saw for us I lie coming your Of crowding duties pressing nigh, And heard, ns we did not o'er new careers. The thundering in the changing sky. And taught that ideals cherished, though with tears, That honor watched in dreams of glory. Would carve pure victories from the years. This school will mark our future story. '1 0 guide us on, wc have from bygone ages. The life of Christ to teach a changeless art; Repented o'er and o'er on history's pages. Who holds the heights must keep a loving heart. Thus, in these halls tonight, as twilight falls, The memory of dear faces crowding near. Speaks of tlie full and happy days each one recalls. Holds for nil time, inestimably dear. Mbs.
