Class Poems To err is human, to forgive divine. We never can forgive those who sit and pine. “Tomorrow we will live!” they always cry, But who knows where that morrow may lie? ’Tis education forms the common mind, Just as the twig is bent, so the tree’s inclined; As great oaks from little acorns grow. Great men are those who climb, raw on row. Dare to tell the truth, naught can need a lie, A fault which needs it most grows two thereby. Honor and shame from no foundation rise: Act well your part, there all the honor lies, William Daniels, ’38 Who came trooping up the stairs That great year of thirty-five? Timid freshmen, young and brave With their minds and hopes alive. Then the next year dawned anew Crowning them as sophomores gay. Other freshmen took the place Of those a year ago that day. Now comes Junior year so sage The dawn of life so true; Grant them health and courage To last them all life through At last we’re Seniors on our way To prove that it is merrier To always bear in mind this phrase “Let no obstacle be a barrier!’’ Virginia Boardman, ’38
