Show alumni our alma mater our dear old school to thee we look with pride we're glad to know that we were trained by thee within thy sacred walls doth truth abide eternal truth the truth that makes us free we know that in thy early childhood days stern poverty and want had sapped thy strength ; and to those noble men give hearty praise whose fortitude did'st bring thee safe at length now thou art older and art stronger grown : more stalwart sons more daughters pure and fair now thou hast ample room to call thine own reward of patient toil and faith and prayer those men of god and women pure who've sought within thy holy shades from year to year to plant the truth by action word and thought are held by every one of us most dear not only have they tought us worldly lore that whets the intellect and feeds the mind but they have given to us vastly more : the truth that art and science do not find dear school thy mission here is but begun thy walls must ever spread thy banners wave thy moral trophies show more victories won for many thousands come for thee to save leroy e cowles 03 loyalty to the alumni the members of the alumni are as a rule loyal to their alma mater it is the way they show their loyalty that is sometimes ques tioned few perhaps who have already become members will see ski this article but some who will have the privilege in the future may read it and after a few years contact with the world they will appreciate the stand that it has taken . while writing i see before me the pictures of a score of young men most of whom i have been bound to with a david and jonathan tie — a tie that bound tighter and tighter as the opposition of a seemingly thankless world pulled on the ends of the bonds that held us it seemed then that distance or time could never separate us in the thoughts and affections of each other but the parting came amid heart felt revolutions and pledges new associates filled the vacancies ; and though we meet occasionally and enjoy a few moments of felicity the meetings are usually accidental we do not take the time nor make the effort we once thought would be so small a consideration in order to be with congenial spirits it is the same with our high school experiences those days are among our happiest and most profitable and we wonder why those that drank at the fountain before us so seldom come back for a refresh ing draught but it is only in accordance with natural consequences that we allow new interests to take the place of the old — it is as natural as for the harvest to follow the planting teachers sometimes complain because parents don't visit ithe school and some argue that they are less interested in their children than in their young stock that are pastured some distance from home and that they make frequent trips to see i am inclined to take such a condition as a compliment for it shows that people have more confi dence in the teachers of their children than in the barb wire fence that incloses their colts and calves the silent support may be more effective ; for after all it is not the votes and the torch light procession that send a man to congress now i hope that none who read this will agree with me to the ex tent that they will never drop in to see the school or attend an alumni banquet or go with the crowd to lagoon our school is truly like pat's knife the same as of old though often having a new blade and osac sionally a new handle if we do not miss seeing it too long we will re cognize the knife ; but we are proud to note that the knife is being en larged with each change and that when a blade is renewed it is supplied with two of equal or superior quailty the handle the building is being made capable of holding more finer and stronger blades if we do not make frequent examinations it will grow out of our knowledge jas g widdison, |
