1918 Cedrus Yearbook

19 RETROSPECTION -- Continued Even if for class we were late(?) How quickly those days did pass by; Days of gladness and blissful joy, With our spreads and college parties And no problems to annoy. Our Senior year was the brightest And yet the saddest, too. For we realized that our college days Were vanishing—almost thru. And at last when came the parting, Our hearts were as heavy as lead; Yet eager to search the future And find what lay ahead! Oh, classmates, as I ponder On those college days so dear, I feel no longer lonely, For each smiling face seems near. Yes, years have passed since I saw you, But as onward in life I go The picture will ever be with me, Dear classmates of long ago. So I dream, dear ones, about you, By my fireside all alone. Without the rain is falling, And the weird winds wail and moan. On the hearth the last coal flickers And the shadows nearer seem, But the glow in my heart remaineth For the dear old class '18. 22 18 N. I. W.
