CLASS ODE. Our Junior year, classmates, approaches its close, And soon will its pleasures be o'er, But now comes our Senior year, laden with joy, Bringing honors and toil in its store. REFRAIN. We will climb with a will, although steep be the hill, Ever true to our honor we'll be. We will look to the right, we will win in the fight, We're the Class of 1903. Three bright happy years have flown past like a dream, Bringing pleasures to each and to all, Our hearts are enchained with a bondage too sweet To scenes we will love to recall. The sweet flower of friendship which never can die, Its fragrance has breathed in each heart, And with courage we enter our last college year, Then sadly yet bravely we'll part. IVY ODE. WORDS AND MUSIC BY LILLIAN A. NORTON. Many lessons, sweet and tender, Does the brave, frail ivy teach, Earth-bound is she, yet is aiming Loftier heights above to reach. And heaven draws near as she ascends, The breeze invites, the sky befriends. REFRAIN. Heaven will guard thee, earth shall shield thee, Ivy dear, while thou dost climb, E'en the walls that bind thee help thee To reach up to heights sublime. We will keep our footsteps pointed Toward the shining hills of truth, We wdl keep our minds anointed With the magic balm of youth. A loftier level must be won, A mightier strength to lean upon. We will heed thy lesson, Ivy, We will struggle toward the height, We will keep our spirit windows Ever open to the light. The college walls that guard us round Will ladders be to higher ground. THE BATES STUDENT. 153 OUR PLACE IN LIFE AND PREPARATION FOR IT. IVY ORATION. OST of us are in the morning of life. We are students M seeking to gain a preparation for our future conflict with the world, every one of us hoping and expecting to succeed. But our success depends largely on our choice of work and our prep- . aration for that work. Every person sent into this world has a place to fill which belongs especially to him. Or in the words of Lowell, "No man is born into this world whose work is not born with him." Even the lowest has a mission to fulfill and a work to do which none but he can do to carry out the perfect plan of the Creator. It is the duty of each one to look over the field of life and try to decide rightly what place was meant for him. Forethought, circumspection and a sincere desire to make the most of one's life are the guides to be employed. These, together with a thorough knowledge of one's self, will usually overcome the difficulties in selecting an occupation and guide to the best employment. But sometimes even these fail and one is puzzled to know just what nature intended him to be. Still he should not be discouraged, but should do his best to secure an all-round education and be prepared for his place when he dis- covers it, as he surely will sometime. Many of our great men did not find their true place in the world at the beginning of their career. Mr. Howells' boyhood dream was to be an auctioneer; Thomas Bailey Aldrich aspired to be a horse doctor; Secretary Hay chose his vocation as steamboat mate on the Mississippi, but he was greater than his business, and when the opportunity came for him to rise he was ready for it. In each place he has filled, duties well performed have prepared him for something higher,— private secretary to the President, colonel in the field, charge d'affairs in Vienna, poet, editor of the Tribune, biographer of Lin- coln, ambassador to England, and at last Secretary of State.
