1929 Cedrus Yearbook

The C edrus Commencement Week, 1928 FAREWELL TO SENIORS The passing years can never dim our thoughts, Nor ever time remove the throbbing pain— The grief and sorrow that your going brought, The day you left us ne’er to come again. Just when your hard won fame was at it’s crest, And countless praising voices spoke your name, Fate whispered too and took from us our best— Alas! How like a spectral ghost he came! Old friends, we miss you, and as years unfold, We’ll hold the memory of you doubly dear; We’ll ne’er forget those happy days of old And in our hearts we’ll always keep you near. Among these chapel seats no one can fill The place you held before you heard the call, And tho’ts of you will linger thru them still Until the lapse of time shall claim us all. Farewell! Yet thru the dismal gloom appears A light afar upon a brighter shore, A heavenly glow, which with the lessening years Calls us together there forevermore. —G. W. D.
