♦ i 1923 ? ! RETROSPECT | t | ♦ • ♦ • ♦ • « ■ » . Senior Class Poem This has been a larger class Than any other of the past, And its daily aims, no less Than those who have achieved success. Four short years ago, we began our studies here. Doing our work and coining back from year to year. A few have dropped out, but others come in To fill the places emptied by them. And when we assembled here this fall, There were over a hundred pupils in all, Coming from near and from afar, Seeking greater wisdom and power. To better ourselves and the world alike, To open our eyes to the great world wide, And learn of her precepts and by them abide, And become citizens that the world will like. For each of us has some great aim Which in life we hope to obtain, By our steady work and constant care We'll keep on faithfully doing our share. We’ve worked hard and done our best And thus far we have stood the test. But soon we’ll be facing two long roads— The one light and tempting—the other a load. But the one with the load spells success, And for all it is really the best. The other one leads to failure, no less, And brings to its comrades want and unrest. Before long, to Blume High we’ll bid adieu And one of these roads we will pursue, When on life’s journey well shall start, With our duty we’ll never part. But before we go, a few words we’ll say To our teachers and parents who cleared our way. Through our four years in high school ranks, And to them we extend our heartiest thanks. Then to our school we’ll say goodbye. As from her we’re about to hie, We’ll remember her ever as years roll by. As the dear old school which was called Blume High. FLORENCE RAMGA. Senior ’23 ♦ ♦
