They therefore, offer to publishin the next munbers of Echoes the best couple of verses which complete this song. Tune Macushla Trafalgar, Trafalgar Our beacon, thou art ever; Guide us, help us. Our aim to pursue, Teach us in all things. Ever to love thee: To trust thee, to shield thee Uphold thee, all through. Trafalgar, our mainstay In moments perplexing. A firm rock of knowledge Of Nelson renown. Trafalgar, Trafalgar, In fond adoration. We hail thee, we laud thee Trafalgar, our own. MARJORIE ANNABLE. Form II la Tune— Polly, Wolly, Doodle Trafalgar is a splendid school, Which many girls adore. Merry faces you do see. And merry words do pour. Chorus Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! for good old Trafalgar For Fam off to go, to the Gym you know To play basket-ball. After prayers, come lessons, Much to the girls ' regret, But soon comes recreation. Which they cannot forget. Chorus Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! etc. 24
