The Alma Mater CTo tune of O Sole Mio l Oh, Alma Mater! Brightly fair to see, With proud and loving hearts, we sing to thee. Beneath thy banner gleaming silvery blue, We pledge our loyalty the ages through. Chorus Hail Alma Mater! hear our refrain, Thou givest freely that all may gain. We hold aloft thy standard, Thy torch of knowledge. A living flame. Dear Alma Mater, through thy stately halls, We hearken to thy soul inspiring calls, To duty, honor, truth, and service rare, To answer them in faith, loe it our prayer. Our memories linger 'round thy portals fair, Oh, Sunshine School of Ioy, and friendships rare. Beneath thy banner gleaming silvery blue, Again we pledge allegiance firm and true. W. SPADER WILLIS. Retrospect Through thy familiar portals With its Lombardys tall, We wend in mournful exit From within thy friendly halls. Sheltered in companionships Which now we find so rare, The knowledge dawns with sadness That this day we leave them there. Past friendships that have long endured With tenderness are lain, Within the channels of memory Belinquished-but with pain. To all of these endearments, Let us hide a fond farewell. But with deep regret we say adieu To a school we loved full well. DOROTHY BUSSOMANO. THE NORM
