. .THE PINE BURR Oh, the days of nineteen-f if teen ! They were full and running o ' er There were ball-games, lectures, meetings. Everything to make life pleasant. We ' most forgot our work was heavy. So much else had we to do. And at last we approached commencement. Just a few more weeks and days; Soon should come the days of parting; Soon our school-days would be o ' er. O ' er p ' raps, forevermore. Soon we seven will be severed; We will tread these halls no more. We ' ve been happy for a season; We have had our trials and troubles; Sometimes the load ' s seemed very heavy, But we ' ve tried to help each other, As together we have climbed. True, there ' ve been mistakes and blunders. But those silly little trifles Will be remembered never more. At the end of four long years, Are these sheepskins all we ' ve got? Shame upon the one who says it. Let him keep forever silent; We have treasures of far more value Than all the gold of the universe; We have experience greater, richer. Than could be bought for any price. Have we wisdom? At times we doubt it. For when so great problems come We know less than e ' er before. Are we ready for the conflict? Can we stand beside our captain? Almost we shudder at the sight ' Of the hosts of undertakings That we see before us spread; We are weak, the work is mighty. What ' s our motto? Win or die! Can we do it? Will we do it? With His help we ' ll win or die. Be our portion great or little. We ' ll be busy everymore! Farewell, comrades, teachers, Alma Mater, ' Spite of all our faults we love you. Though we ' ve been so very stupid We have learned one lesson well. As we trudge Life ' s thorny pathway, Won ' t you still claim us your own? There are lessons yet to learn. There are depths as yet unknown; If you ' ll love us, if you ' ll watch us, Life ' s great task will not be hard, We will falter nevermore. Class Historian.
