Senior Class poem FOUR years ago—how short a time!— Together we began to climb. Just starting in our high school life; We knew not much of work or strife. Our trials the first short year were few; We liked our work because ’twas new. Kach stranger found himself a friend And work and pleasure seemed to blend. As Sophomores we had to toil. We often burned the midnight oil. Bookkeeping made us all feel blue; We thought we’d met our Waterloo. But though we often were distressed With joy and pleasure we were blessed. Inlookers saw each lad and lass Not individuals, but a class. We worked as one—a unit we ; No other way could we then see To get what we called ease, you know ; We thought instructors worked us so! Class spirit was our greatest boast, Of all the classes we showed most; Our elders said ’twas overdone. While we kept on and had much fun. In our third year—what worse could be. Our one road then branched into three? But we were still a faithful tribe That courses never could divide. ur Senior year is finally o’er. We’ve had more work than e’er before; )ur teachers we have ceased to bluff. They think we’ve stayed here long enough. So now we’re going to leave high school. We’ve tried to follow each good rule. Perhaps we have oft been a trial But one can’t be good all the while. We’ve struggled on until at last The high school days for us are past. One cannot guess how short they’ve been, Until he’s reached the last of them. We’ve won many friends in these few years. How can we leave them without tears? We’ve loved to linger here together. But now farewell—perhaps, forever! G. M„ ’IS. [201

Relieved from care and pain; And while our loss—’tis plain— Causes us untold grief. Eternal rest you gain. Sad that thou didst depart: Heaven alone knows why Early the good do die, Leaving friends sad in heart. Peace and sweet rest—good-bye! [19]
