SENIOR CLASS POEM Straining at its hawser, eager to set sail, Our ship lies in the harbor. All hands on deck! The sails are set, From moorings and from dock now loosed, We head toward open sea and unknown ports. The ship skims forward proudly, her mainsails, quiveri The tangy air exhilarates her crew, With each stiff breeze her slack sails billow out. They blow and quiver with a crack of mast. A swirling twister will bring stormy squalls, Great waves will sweep the decks and toss our ship, And hope will wash away with rope and rail, Yet every storm must cease, and calm and quiet Will come back. There will be singing, laughter, fun on board, I-Ieightened by the salty, cooling breeze. There will be tasks for all to do-swabbing decks And hoisting sails. In the depths of the ship The stronger will shovel fuel. Nimble feet Will scale the ladder, and dexterous hands Will knot the ropes and mend the wind-torn sails. ng, fill. Land sighted! will shout the watcher in the crow's nest. First port of calll How spirits soarl For there ahead will loom an unknown land, Beckoning, mysterious, strange. We'll disembark, and those who have been there before Will take their leave. With anchor dropped at port of call We shall be leafing through the log book of our voyage, Reviewing written testimony of success, Recalling spoken praises of the captain, sailors, mates. But more important than all these will be The tasks to be accomplished while on land, For soon our ship will come, and we Shall once again embark for other shores. Louis E PROEHL Page Twenly-one l
