THE BATTLEFIELD The Battlefield When first this school began to wage Against society ' s foes A war in which all should engage To lessen human woes, Our forty-two of maidens fair, Arrayed for right and truth. Decided it should be their care To help their country ' s youth. So thru that year we bravely fought Toward the goal that we desired. And strove to learn whate ' er was taught, With that ambition fired. But when we pitched our tents once more, Ten comrades were away; The rest made up a steady corps Alert for work and play. And towards our goal we ' ve striven each day As Lee would have us do. We ' ve tried in work and tried in play To our colors to be true. Here where so many men have fought With all their strength and might. Here where our brave forefathers sought To win what they thought right; On this dear spot with mem ' ries filled Of soldiers true and brave; Here where so many men were killed — So many found a grave; Here we have fought our fight as well As those brave men of old; For tho no one by bullet fell, A battle o ' er us rolled. And now at last this war is o ' er, These battles fought and w ' on. And many hearts are sad and sore To think school life is done. We now go to a broader field. The broader field of life. And to its foes we ' 11 never yield, But stiU keep up the strife Against those ancient hated foes. Of ignorance and woe; This is the warfare each one chose; To battle now we go. Those foes are still within our land; Our country needs the brave ; We each have given heart and hand Our nation ' s youth to save. Elsie Coleman.

THE BATTLEFIELD Motto : Ijive on the Heights Class 1913 Flower: Sweet Pea Colors: Lavender and Green The fragrant flowery days of June have come to us again. But we view their golden splendor with a gladness fraught with pain. They bid us cease from labor, and we find that message sweet. Yet they bring another message which our hearts ache to repeat. Chorus Dear Class of 1913, we tonight must say farewell, The sorrow that we feel at this no mortal tongue can tell. For two short years we ' ve toiled here, and now our work is o ' er, We part tonight to meet again, united never more. We now must leave the Normal where we ' ve spent such happy hours, And our sorrow at this thought now plans for future .joy o ' erpowers,- Tho ' we ' ve often longed for freedom when our world appeared unkind, We realize that with it we must leave school joj-s behind. We now must leave school life, and leave each privilege and rule, For we are passing from school life to life ' s great glorious school. Here we have been preparing for the work that we must do. For the world is needing workers who have pro -en tried and true. To leave our comrades makes us sad and fills our hearts with pain, We know this happy company will never meet again. The brightest gem of memory ' s crown is that whose shining rays, Brings back the recollection of these hapjjy past school days. Elsie Coleman. 19
