CLASS POEM
BY MAUDE l.. MILLS
All hail to thee month of roses,
Choice are the gifts that We bear,
All the earth smiles with thy beauty,
All thy how'rs perfume the air
over us bend the blue heavens,
Flowers are strcwn meath our feet;
Now is our youth the more joyful,
Life is so glad and SO sweet.
Spring is already behind us,
In her light verdure arrayed;
Summer is bringing her off 'rngs,
But even her spendor must fade
So while in ife's June we lingcr,
Fresh from the bright days just gone
Our schooldnys-lfc'sj joyous Springtimc,
| With their swift pleasures, now flown;
Though our hearts must fill with sadness,
Sadness yet mingled with joy,
| Mcm'rieS of past, hopes of future
All pains of parting destroy
| And in lifc's summer, before us,
Though the dark storm clouds may rise,
"Wherc duty leads, we will follow"
Her pathway mounts to the skies.
The class motto is, "Where duty
leads, we will follow"
