GRADUATION TIME.
Graduation time again!
Boys are changing into men,
stepping from the fields of play
Where they romped but yesterday
Into life's great rolling MILL
Some important place to fill.
Once again the doors are swung
70 receive our sturdy young;
once again an eager class
Waits the moment 1t may pass
out OF boyhood into life
Where the game is real strife.
Well we know what care awaits
All who step beyond the gates
swinging open wide today!
Long ago we trod the way.
Well We know what they shall find
Who are leaving youth behind
Fame and fortune life will give
To the men who rightly live;

EVERY boy who passes here.
!tut We wonder, as he goes.
IL llfeE secret now he knows.
Ilees he know that men must earn
Every joy for which they yearn?
Does he know that none but he
Shapes the future that's to be
And that he. not life shall say
What rewards shall crown his dayg
Boy. now entering manhood's field.
As you give so life shall yield.

Faithful to Its least command;
Give your best in service true
Life shall give its best to YOU.
