? 1920 ♦ “ROWUNti mi drifting' Four long years we have pass’d together. But shall those days from our mem’ry stray. Which now Commencement soon will sever For us diverging in diff’rent ways? In these years we’ve done our work And from our duty never shirk’d; But for this privilege at the end To our dear parents we thanks extend. You may wonder, you may ask As to the nature of the task, In those High School days of yore When each his lesson ponder'd o’er. As Freshmen, we were jeered at, As Sophs our wisdom grew. As Juniors, we were happy. As Seniors, knowledge knew. When we leave this dear old High School With its strong and stringent rules. To set sail upon Life’s journey And to battle in its tourney. Upward, Onward, we shall struggle. Until our ideals accomplished be, For which we shall he noted, Promoters of achievements honor’d. Off we’ll sail after Commencement day To ports far distant and unknown, Each by himself on his lonely way Battling the waves of the world. But to our old High School’s name We'll credit all the fame, Which to many soon will come Xo matter where they roam. “Rowing, not drifting,’’ To you we’ve been list’ning, As we shall in future days But in parting Farewell we shall say. “Here’s to our dear Alma Mater! Here’s to the yellow and blue! 1 lers's to our faithful teachers! And here’s to our loyalty true!” -• ♦ ♦ | CLASS POEM ♦ . ♦ ♦ 13
