Sing hey to this wonderful era we Seei
When life is as rapid as rapid can be.
The sun seems to rise with a clatter and
bang
And you're not understood if you do not
use slang.
Your oldfashioned ways to the winds you
may fling,
The ehrase Of the present is, ANY old
thing
Would YOU scale to the nights that are
sacred to fame
What field will you choose in securing a
Eame?
Are pictures or music or letters your
dream?
Do not waste your good time in selecting
a theme.
The clew is before you, SO grasp it and
cling
There's no better topic than Amy Old
Thing
But do not forget when you've chosen
your way,
That misfortune awaits you if elsewhere
you stray;
That whatever your mission, your life will
go well,
If in this thing alone you can claim to
excel.
So. who shall be deaf to the song that
hope sings.
When life is so lavish with ANY old
things? Washington Star.
