M H. REYBURN TO THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1940 THE FULL LIFE i. You would live fully? Quicken then your pulse In kinship with those high, heroic hearts Who hold aloft the oriflame of Hope, Deathless and bright across the groping years. The Man of Nazareth upon the Cross, With anguished cry, “They know not what they do; Forgive them, Father! Socrates unshaken Drinking the hemlock; stalwart Charles Martel With hammering blows routing the Moslem horde; Columbus, eagle-hearted, driving his ships With dauntless purpose through the unploughed seas; And millions more, dream-stirred, without a name, Whose glowing vision or uplifted arm Have rived the shackles and on us bestowed The blessings of a thousand centuries Lift up your spirit, and exultant feel One with the breathless stretches infinite— Mighty Orion and the Polar Star But on the threshold. Fancy faints imagining Our principal, Mr. Reyburn A. Higgins, was a former teacher in West Side. Mr. Higgins received his A.B. degree from Indiana University and his A.M. degree from New York University. Нау- ing come to West Side in 1926, he remained here for seven years as a member of the English depart- ment. In 1933, Mr. Higgins went to Weequahic where he was the chairman of the English depart- ment. Mr. Higgins returned to West Side in 1937 as principal. A. HIGGINS The Suns beyond our Sun—Worlds without end Time a mere fleck upon Eternity; And Man within these regions measureless Though thrall to Time and Space, with head un bowed. 3 Learn, too, to love the little things of life The spring-awakened crocus in the grass; The light upon the waters, and the breeze Rippling the maples with a soft caress; The clinging hands of children, and the warmth Of friendship; the inner light that glows From deeds unselfish and from honest mirth 4 Then on some clear-eyed day—as roseate light Revealed the Grail to the rapt Galahad You glimpse the Infinite within the Rose; Eternity within this passing day; And each of us, component parts of Life, Helping to bear that Life through Time and Space Till Time and Space themselves shall be no more , E алуа. бу. 2 жона Page Five
