Bloomington High School, The Gothic, 1929, Page 142

Description: The play is done—the curtain drops,Slow falling to the prompters bell;A moment yet the actor stops,And looks around, to say farewell.It is an irksome word and task;And, when hes laughd and said his say,He shows, as he removes the mask,A face thats anything but gay.One word, ere yet the evening ends:Lets close it with a parting rhyme,And pledge a hand to all young friends,As fits the merry school-day time;On lifes wide scene you, too, have parts,What fate ere long shall bid you play;Good-bye!—with honest gentle heartsA kindly greeting go alway!Page One Hundred Forty-Two
