PHOTOGRAPH BY VERNE MORTON 



And one shall never quite forget 



The voice that called from dream and play, 

 The firm but kindly hand that set 



Her feet in learning's pleasant way, — 



Hers is the sober summer noon 



Contrasted with your morn of spring; 



The waning with the waxing moon, 



The folded with the outspread wing. 



And, when the world shall link your names 



With gracious lives and manners fine, 

 The teacher shall assert her claims, 



And proudly whisper, " These were mine ! "
