Glu tbur Bugs VVe are proud of you, sons from our High School, Who are doing your bit in this War, Helping to keep Old Glory on high, O'er the cause you are hghting for. Our Alma Mater is proud of you too, She's with you through thick and thin, She sees you march bravely to battle, Vilith courage, she sees you fall in. She stands with you through every danger, She sees you go in with a smile, Not fearing what worst might happen, But hoping the best all the while. She once thought of you as her children. Wlhen her books were your greatest toil, She now thinks of you as her brave men, .-Xvenging raped Belgium's soil. 'Mid the roar and the shriek of the cannon, 'Mid orders and bugle calls, . She watches you iight for the victory On the nelds where the hero falls, The bands will play, when you come home, Old Glory will ily at your hiad. Cheers will burst forth for the living, Tears will be wept for the dead. But while you are still there lighting, Remember, we're praying for you, That you'll do your best to keep honored, Our glorious Red, Wfhite, and Blue. DANIEL NVEBSTER, 'l8 s U01
