'Though tonight many classmates do not here with us Across the separating miles we join in heart and hand. Please guide our boys and show them Thy mercy. Protect their souls through the bloody night, 'Till dawns the day of goodness and glory, For right can and will triumph over might, For right can and must triumph. Amen.

Nobody believed that we could do itg and we had a little trouble obtaining permission for this Christmas Formal, but it certainly was a wonderful Christmas present.
