WINTERSTEEN COMPOSES HYMN FOR '34 CLASS DAY

BERNER DESIGNS SKETCH FOR SUPPER CARDS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Decisions have been reached by the 1934 Class Day Committee as to the design of the supper ticket and the choice of the Baccalaureate Hymn to be used at the exercises this spring. They were assisted in the latter decision by G. W. Woodworth, Assistant Chorister. The facsimile drawn by Robert Berner '34, of Dorchester, was accepted for the ticket and is a black and white sketch of the Dunster House gate.

Prescott Browning Wintersteen '34, of Uxbridge, contributed the accepted hymn, which is to be sung to the tune of "Duke Street." The words are as follows:

Time is as measureless as space;

The things we do confer its bounds.

Our growth with four full years kept pace;

We built our foundations in these grounds.

Harvard, the moulder of our clay,

Itself has felt the potter's wheel--

As Time one leader bore away

And matched achievement with new zeal.

Advance and leave some things behind.

Unequalled days be memories.

Give thanks for chance of guided mind,

For Harvard opportunities.

Enshrouded by uncertainty,

Our triumphs rest in reverence

For truthfulness, sincerity,

And toward all men, benevelence.
