 22 The Retrospect, 1914 s CLASS POEM In the little town of Wapak, At the side of Dear Old Blackhoof, On a pleasant summer morning, Blume Hi School stood open waiting. Bright above it shone the heavens, O’er the street came shouting, laughing, Something in the hazy distance, Something in the mists of morning. It came leaping, jumping, running, Coming nearer, nearer, nearer, It is not the car of Bolton, Nor the street car of the morning, But the great, great class of ’14. From its doors came all the teachers, With their hands aloft extended, Held aloft in sign of welcome. Then they cry and spake in this wise: “Beautiful is our work, Oh, Strangers, When you come so far to learn it, All our school in peace awaits you, You shall enter ail our class rooms, You shall learn to know and care for Tiny zeroes on your grade cards.” So they enter as bright Freshmen, Learned new truths before unheard of. Thus we see our class of T4. Now as Sophomores ever blithely Through their lessons fairly tripping, Now as Juniors we behold them. Ever brilliant, shining, flashing, Quickly goes the year before them, Seniors now again we see them, Deeds of valor now accomplished Show the greatness of our class. Now as bright and care-free people, They depart with happy laughter. Slowly o'er the simmering landscape Fell the evening’s dusk and coolness. They have waved their hand in parting. Thus departed ’mid great honors Class of ’14, ever famous, In the glory of the sunset, In the purple mists of evening, Ever shining, ever gleaming, On the pathway of success. —GLADYS STUEVE
