The Senior Year Book— 1931 Strange it is and yet so true. That I’m tempted to a laugh; For behold, I clearly see, Mary sings for the phonograph. And now I turn at last to Ell, What she has accomplished is much to tell; The dear little girl is still serving time. As the composer of that little rhyme. Conclusion These are your futures we have guessed, It’s up to you to do the rest. Let time and experience be the test, May your success be of the very best. —M. Dunn and E. Scanlon. June sunlight sifts soft o’er these ivied walls; And a few days and hours must mean our parting. O come not sad and slow, last moments here, But pass amid our riotous, happy laughter! We take with us mem’ries that ever last; Friends we have known, places we used to love; Small things we used to do—you cannot leave us; Though you return no more, we take you with us. These are the means for widening our skylines ; Here are the sparks to kindle greater service. O it is not alone your knowledge, teachers. It is yourselves you’ve given us, unknowing. How long we’ve waited for these last few moments; And now they’re come, wistfully slow, we linger. O may we never lose that happier spirit; Gladly we go, gladly we leave, dear school! Look ho! The East! How ride our ships of dreams? —A. H. N. — S| 20 t -
