THIS RAMBLING edifice is the NUCLEUS OF COLLEGE LIFE ITS TOWERS SYMBOLIC OF TRADITION AND SPIRIT. 10 EiJwanl M. Gwath As president of our college Dr. Gwathmey hns made Converse a growing institution with improved facilities and strengthened standards. His understanding of hoth social and educational needs of the students is extraordinary. He has made Converse a place where young women may acquire by study and personal contact the hackground of cultural, practical and scientific knowledge which is necessary for intelligent living in the world of today. 12 To further the progress of each student toward the goal of her finest development and implant high ideals is her part in life at Converse. Through our association with our most sympathetic counsellor, we have obtained a broadened outlook, a tolerant and disciplined spirit and a discriminating mind, and learned to make intelligent use of knowledge gained in the classroom. Miss Gee has given us the essentials, and on them we may build. Wilson Gee EUord C. Morgan In the position of Dean ive have a man of scholarship and well- rounded personality. Sparing neither time nor effort in considering the individual, he guides the academic life of the student. Dr. Morgan s management of the curriculum has advanced the idea of assuring a hroad general foundation in various fields of knowledge. Patient tolerance and sincere understanding prove his genuine interest in us. His is a responsible task of leadership. 14 Ernst Bacon Under his direction iiie program of study in the School of Music has been enlarged and enhanced. Dean, professor of piano and composition in our school, and conductor and composer in the professional world, he has efficiently developed the curriculum to one of advanced standing. Growth to proficiency is the aim of Mr. Bacon and his faculty. Under his sponsored activities students have the promise of a new and vigorous musical life within the college. • • • MARGARET BROWNE EDWARDS 1925-1943 JOSEPH ALEXANDER TILLINGHAST 1871-1944 16 Board J.

It is by these traits and characteristics that classmates will remember every girl who willingly did her best to make her class what 27 MARY ELOISE Bt l l ILI-L LAURA JEAN BLOUNT CELESTE LOUISE HUMPHREYS I RANCES TU( KI .R HI IR I onverse GotL MARGARET BARNETT WORKMAN Of course we all Kave dreams but sometimes memories outweigk dreams, or at least further tKem. On leaving Converse it is difficult to determine the vast amount whicli we have gained from her. Friendship, joy, a greater wisdom and love. These seem to be outstanding, but the little things also will bring us back . . . the routine, blank faces at the breakfast table, chapel periods, midnight feasts, and many unusual things, to say the least, that interest only the individual. Ve take these, but with the sorrow of leaving Converse and everyone realize that she will always have these to give. 43 THESE W. HE DAYS to A Paradox, a Paradox, a most ingenious Paradox. If Gilbert and Sullivan, that celebrated twosq had been commissioned especially to write the Se of ' 44 a class song, they could have done no better t this one from the Pirates of Pewzance. We ' ve been here four years— a long ti time. We ve been an extremely athletic c failed to win the shield even once. We v musical class, yet have relied on only a take all the honors. We ' ve been all out effort, yet have oftentimes fallen short o ties. We ve been intellectually curious, y some mighty below par report cards, serious, we ' ve been silly, but the redee ning feat of all this paradoxical nature is the very ngeniousness of it. From the first we ' ve been a class of lea ierSj ers for the good— but— er— we ve had our wepk tool Take our freshman year, or instam s W e Viust have shown some kind of stuff i g tJ[rom theS gintting be- cause that was the year nK m h w fcmi avowed a representative on council apHv ' I a a priao tos x- press any literary feelings m ayfew publmati i itle We, the Freshmen. But— welT, as said beK «;e, Ve pr essed ourselves in other ways, too— trash carK Sm 4 - ■ ■ the stairs, Dexter-Dexter ghosts, luxurious midhi t swims, house parties in Cudd, Ouija board sessions oi? exam nights, coffee at 5:00 a. m., bangs and on and on until the grand ftnale of day and breakfast at Sam s Deluxe Di ner. The next year, our so-called high and mi ghty year must have been that in name alone for now in looking back it seems only as time between— the period of self -examination — of grasping for maturity— of time between. But— and in startling contrast to our con- fused minc s— America had just found herself, ' for on December the eighth war was declared on Germany and Japan. We were shocked, but not deeply so, for the pain was yet to come. With shouts of Remember Pearl Harbor, talk of less travel, and opinions on rationing ringing in our ears, we managed to live blissfully through the next eight months and lo return in the fall more determined than ever to make this college year count. We had arrived, ' we had learned, but, most important of all, we had learned lo make decisions. First came the problem of house presidents. We accepted, we thought, we acted! We were the new house presidents. Our the lass became then a house divided, but not against If, for together we arose, again and again. This to search out and welcome our little sisters, er time to help organize and support the newly Srmed C. A. C. s and yet another time to add a new ouch to the Junior-Freshman wedding Senior banquet. above all these happenings was the rampus of the Wofford boys— and even edge that they weren t here to date this dy. This was in February and the time the close of our junior year served only at Wofford could and did fit in. ' In act was nearly over, and though we re- noug ht of ' going out from dopes and trembled and felt a little odd in our robes. We had accepted the outward s, but what about the dignity— would lore the ime but dy sera loo, _ Jow cameytne testv ' ln clas and out of class— rain or shi fe-bad Kumon good hu nor, we were the seniors. We Fi Sil|ji6 sho em. ' orts, we were doing Rne winnec n tenjfis an sp pro our JfSte, s fe|Bjitauty i octofly— but, suddenly, volleyball eifL mfk year, either. At the tables lethir wiffl y ong. i o ' e dutifully doled out food nL ofcrt ' ' drinks — but somehow we had gotten tooffHiPft n ro the habit of thinking This is my Senior %0ar jifif hy George, I m going to enjoy it. So, we went merrily on, letting bygones be bygones, enjoying our-extrj chapel cut, being late to dinner, and some n jHoJfl. our unlimited weekends (say, there s no plac like home!). Well, enough of that, for we certainly had more serious moments than these— there was the time of the magnificent Christmas pageant planned by one senior alone, the Christmas tree, the poinsettas, the Christmas program each arranged and directed by a single senior, to say nothing of the marvelous recitals and exciting May Day display! All these and many things more were done, but never would a single plan have been carried out or idea crystalized if there had not always been the constant unity and support of a class that is unsurpassed in its talent and ingenuity. So, we ve sung, we ve acted, we ve danced, we ve written, and we ve played ourselves int o the spirit of Converse, growing as we felt its power. We must now leave our roles in this great four-act play, and though we know others can well fill our parts, our only hope is that in hlling, they will remember.

EDNA RAINVILLE. 45 Municipal Old MaiJ s Home _ May 29, 1934 Dea n Elford Morgan, Converse College, Spartanburg, s. c. Dear Dr. Morgan, While run muging through the attic the other day, I stumbled over an old Addison and Steele stove, and, naturally, thought of you. Knowing your interest in all the fellows, I figured you ' d like to hear about them. 1 m in the know, because of my voluntary work at the ration board. Yes, I ' ve chatted with many a forly-fourer over ration book No. 33. Some of the news is good, some not so good. Take Sister Buchan for instance, she ' s back in Reno again and it ' s rumored that it ' s the judge to the altar this time. While on the other hand . . . Norma Thatcher and Estelle Easterby are still very much Navy wives. Barbara Walsh is living in the little white house with the picket fence. Martha Battle is having the grandest time traveling from post to post with her husband, the Colonel. Margaret Workman and Celeste Humphreys not only have husbands, but copious numbers of children . . . and may I add that Jean Blount and Eannie Hurt are in the same category. Honestly, New York is full of Converse . . . Grace Martin is buying for Bonwit Teller, Carolyn McSween is modeling for Bergdorf Goodman, Gene Mills is doing interior decorating, Mim Weiss is pursuing her Ph.D. at Columbia and Emily Jennings is pursuing her MRS. up there. Janet Kelly is at Katie Gibbs and Helen Gellert is really up in the newspaper world, not to mention her 6:30 a. m. radio programs . . . singing Chipper Good Morning Songs. Betty Murph is editing ' Harper ' s magazine. At the Julliard School of Music you ' ll find Mildred Cleveland and Ella E ranees Baud. Virginia Mae McCall is a sensation at Carnegie Hall, playing the piano with her toes. Mary Crutchfield and Cole Porter are collaborating on the musical score for the Follies of 1955 Guess you read in the paper about Betsy Brunk ' s filibuster in Congress trying to influence a bill for pro- moting racial equality . . . and Bates has completed her law studies and is now a judge. Just news from here and there . . . Virginia Whitner and Edna Rainville are technicians at Mayo . . . Hooper is in the WAVES . . . Claire Harvin is modeling . . . Bessie Rice, you remember, had her wings and no hours our senior year, well, now s ie ' s got a pilot and no airplane . . . Sara Burnett and Raymoth Ezell are librarians at Harvard . . . and Fleming, cute little Fleming, is making cloth animals for Santa Claus . . . Cacie Gant is hostess at the Waldorf . . . DeLila Bryson is teaching school . . . Mary Cannon is a professional bridge player . . . Esther Connor is running a resort at Edisto Island . . . Elizabeth Grier is doing case work . . . Pat Gardner, you have probably noticed, is a cover girl . . . and Bethell is color coordinator for Hattie Carnegie . . . Chick Cunningham has almost risen to fill the place of the immortal Madame Sh umann-Heink . . . Irene Mc- Dowell is singing in a U. S. O. . . . Chris Richardson is the wife of a Ford salesman . . . Betty Rodman is work- ing with the F. B. I. . . . Lib Smith is House Mother for the S. A. E. s . . . Elizabeth Withrow is writing a comic strip . . . Margaret Goodman is up in this world as a C. P. A. . . . Dot V hitten is singing with A ndre Kostelanetz . . . Bess Owen Alexander is a big club woman in Charlotte . . . Doris Hatchett is a professional golfer . . . Mamie Caughman is still teaching little fingers to play in the vicinity of Duke, waiting for the M.D. shingle to get hung . . . Mary Dyches is teaching history still waiting for her Marine . . . Senorita Runge is U. S. Ambassadress to Mexico, and writing a book ' When I Was In Mexico. . . . Julia Bridger and Penny Parker had lunch with me yesterday. Julia doesn ' t look a day over twenty, yes, she ' s still living in the medical world. Penny had to leave in the middle of lunch because one of her children needed her. They told me Jennie Harris was Queen of the Mardi Gras last year, and that Ann Lomax, how about this? is appearing before the King and Queen of England in a jitterbug exhibition. Know you enjoyed seeing Allene Broyhill last month when she was at Converse giving an exhibition in archery . . . and Edy McEachern talked to you in convocation on nature. She ' s teaching Nature Lore at Columbia University and her articles in Field and Stream magazine are excellent. You are completely worn out by now ... so am I. Give all of Converse my wishes. Sincerely, . r KENT SEIGNIOUS. P. S. Did Lou Carlisle graduate? 46 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Conttiined lierewitli is the written testament of ours, tlie class of 1944. As we leave the portals of Converse, diplomas in hand (our last wisfi, we might say!) we know that part of Converse will remain with us forever. And so as Converse gives of itself, we must, in turn, give of ourselves. It is our desire to leave the things mentioned below for our successors, that we may not be forgotten, but live on in the memories of those we leave behind. I. Betsy Brunk, do leave my invitations to attend small parties across the way to anyone who would be versed in Lah-tin. I, Ann Lomax, with due regard for the older generation, of which I am now a part, do regretfully leave my jitterbugging to Lalla Nimocks. I, Mamie Caughman, do hereby will and bequeath my four-inch- heeled evening shoes to Nancy Wilson in the hopes that she may learn to totter on them as gracefully as 1 do. We, Jean Blount, Virginia Whitner, and Mim Weiss, realizing that we are no longer school girls, do leave our giggles to Henrietta Villincs and Evelyn Rose. Having gratefully received and used it, and not wishing to break a tradition, we, Frances Fleming and Carolyn McSween, do relinquish our scholarships from the Carolina, State, Strand and Palmetto tlieatres to the deserving Flo Dennis and Bobsie Compton. I, Mary Jean Hooper, do leave my everlasting energy, God bless it, to Mary Elizabeth King. I, Edy McEachern, do hereby bequeath to Miriam Carmichael my gift for gab. We, Kent Seignious and Jennie Harris, do very regretfully — very- leave our privilege of leisurely afternoon naps to Kit Archer and Ann VanStory. I, Allene Broyhill, do hereby will and fjequeatli my reserved seat on every train going to Chapel Hill to Frances Glass — not that she basn t already one of her own. I, Norma Thatcher, do leave my party-girl good times to prom trotter Jeannette Bagnal. I, Virginia Mae McCall, do leave my beautiful golden tresses to Ann Skipper. I, Esther Conner, do entrust my Edisto accent to anyone who thinks she can master it — probably Madge Graydon. I, Janet Kelly, do unwillingly part with my never-failing curiosity and entrust it to Tommy Thomas. We, Eyleen Runge. Grace Martin, and Gene Mills, do leave our motto of never a Sunday dinner at Converse to Sara Dever and Martha Ludlam in the hope that it may not be abused. I, Penny Parker, do leave any and all of Miss Kibler s classes to Helen Maney. Since hearing a certain radio program, we, Anne Bates and Pat Gardner, do leave our belief in telepathy to Mary Ann Curry. I, Helen Gellert, do bequeath my love for the streamliner to Kit Anderson. We, Margaret Goodman and Claire Harvin, do sadly give up the Wofford boys to whoever can wolf them away. I, Sister Buchan, do leave my out-of-joint tennis serve to Sylvia Bodenhorn. I, Edna Rainville, do hesitatingly leave my precious blue bicycle to the day students in general— on second thought, I can t part with it. I, Eloise Betbell, do leave my useful green coveralls to Mitzi Spring. We, Estelle Easterby and Mary Dyches, do leave our Beautyrest mattresses to whoever is getting curvature of the spine from sleeping on their own. 1, Julia Bridger, do leave my ability to tut ol ier peopfc s hair to whoever has the nerve. We, Midge Cleveland and Lou Carlisle, do will to Julia Adams our dressed-up pertness. I, Mary Crutchfield, do hereby bequeath my simplicity and sincerity to Sybil Hill. We, Bessie Rice and Ducky Grier, do leave our extremely superior intelligence to the Converse Summer School. We, Chris Richardson, Betty Rodman, Celeste Humphreys and Libby Withrow do, with a laugh, leave our clever sense of humor to Anne Wood and Margaret Ogburn. We, Margaret Workman and Frances Hurt, cupids that we are, do leave a sparkler on the third finger left hand to Harvey Newsome. I, Martha Battle, do, drawling, leave my Southern accent to Marilyn Mangum. I, Emily Jennings, do appropriate my white wedding dress for all future Freshman brides. I, Bess Owen Alexander, leave my dignified ciuietness to Josephine Curcton. 1, Catherine Gant, do hereby will and bequeath all May Days to the audience, hoping that they realize the back-stage work. We, the Class of 1944, do sincerely will our love tor Converse and its innate ideals to each class who may hereafter enter its portals. Respectfully submitted, CATHERINE GANT.

TKere were many loved faces missing around us, but we found ourselves welcoming an unusually large group of transfers. TKey soon fitted rigbt in and captured honors in sports, shown in Y services, and proved their worth in classes. We were a truly unified class when Mitzi surprised us by pulling Rat Week out of the bag. Remember how we met that night to start the big doings tense and excited each of us fully determined to put over the new Rat Week and make it a success. It was a job all right, but with the juniors and seniors backing us, we did it. . . . The grand and glorious climax in the gym on Saturday night. . . . We were really a sport- minded class . . . how the cheers rang loud when the sophomores came out the winners in the swimming meet! You couldn t hold us down in hockey, baske tball. or volleyba 11. We were well represented on all the varsity and subvarsity teams. . . . But our eyes weren t on sports only. The Parley Voo, Palmetto Players and the Concept boasted a list of sophomores. Remember: How we compared V-mails from the one and onlys . . . tbe singing ses- sions in the Little Shop, th at close harmony (?) we all loved . . . our heated discussions (not too intelligent) of everything from the psychology of the human personality to the pros and cons of war marriages . . . the groups around the radio and the 11:45 news summary . . . Senior-Sophomore Day, presiding over the tables in the dining room, how we loved prissing around as tired old but (oh, so dignified!) seniors.

Tkose of us wKo arrived on tKe train or bus promptly found ourselves bustled into tbe capable bands of Mr. Clark, and deposited at Miss Gee ' s porcb witb a flood of bappy, sbrieking girls pouring out to meet us, flinging tbeir arms around old students, and directing us to Miss Gee, our college motber. Tbose of us brougbt by our parents felt loneliness sweep tbrougb us as we watcbed tbe familiar family car drive away. However, tbis feeling was soon smotbered by stinted conversations witb our new roommates. Many days passed before we learned tbe way from tbird floor East Wilson to tbe Little Sbop or from tbe post office to Main Hall, but eventually stairs and shortcuts were traveled automatically. Classes! How would we ever learn wbere to go and wben? And we tbougbt tbat Con- verse was a girl ' s scbooll For tbe brst time, boys became a part of fresbman classes. Tbey made tbese classes seem informal, like bigb scbool. Rat Week! As tbe year swept by, fresbmen took deeper and deeper parts in college life. We began work on our own publication, We, the Preshmen, our own songs became a part of us, and we glowed witb pride for our own atbletic teams and representatives in student activ- ities. In true Converse spirit we tbrilled to tbe Junior-Fresbman Wedding, Cbristmas celebrations. May Day, and were spiritually refresbed witb morning watcb and vespers. Now tbat we are almost sopbomores, we can look back, amused, at our tben-serious bull sessions, tbe confusion we made in tbe P.

Tison 117 FEATURES These personalities shall long exist in our memory not only because theirs u?as the spirit of Converse, hut because, too, they gave of that spirit. We can never quite thank them for this gift of spirit that they embodied in their love, their loyalty, their guidance.

Many of the time -honored traditions have been replaced by a series of constant ' ' firsts. Instead of marching up the stone steps of the twin-towered main building to await his turn to sign a stack of white and yellow registration cards, this year ' s rat checked in on the other side of town and found his spot in the long queue of femmes . . . signing up for Converse courses in Converse classrooms under Converse tutors but receiving Wofford credits. And so, for the first time, the entire Wofford student body attended classes off campusl All this . . . while hundreds of air corps cadets sat in the Wofford classrooms and took notice of the wisdom which came forth from Wofford lips. And in true Heraclitus meditations, we saw again that change was everywhere in everything all the time. As the outside world changed, the crippled Wofford family changed ... on the campus the zoot suits and flashy cravats of former years were conspiciously absent, and the sober color of army khaki and Uncle Sam ' s insignia marked the fashion heights . . . football week-ends, frat dances, and basketball tournaments were cancelled for the dura- tion and entertainment suddenly was more personal and more confined to the bounds of Spartanburg ... no such address as 20i Carlisle or 1 6 Snyder but only 560 Mills, 781 East Main Street, or 6 6 Maple . . . and bull sessions became less frequent and much smaller and more within the legitimate hours of early evening . . . and the student stopped playing and went to work because all at once time was short for the first time in his life. Only this is changeless, the courage and strength of Wofford men who picked up grenade or bayonet because the nation had a dirty job to do, and it was their nation . . . a total war with total mobilization . . . over eleven hundred Wofford graduates wearing their country ' s uniform . . . Wilkes given commendation certificates for distinguished service in Africa . . ., Moody ' s plane shot down and crew prisoners in German concentra- - tion camp. . . . Pea body decorated twice for bravery. . . . Carmichael commissioned at Benning . . . sons of peace now warriors: all of it but proof that the liberal arts college stands to equip an individual to meet any exigencies of existence. Guided by tomorrow ' s vision . . . Wofford men back in Wofford classrooms and hearing Wofford professors. . . . Chuck expounding the gospel. . . . Frog featuring hydrogen Pugh and Chaucer ' s Tales. . . . ].K. and pay-up days . . . and Heine giv- ing new chapel speeches . . . rebuilding the distorted globe ... back to normalcy and loud sport ' s jackets . . . hot bull sessions and Carlisle grub . . . and there ' ll always be a Wofford ... on the city ' s northern border. 142 MS of town c oerse courses in i. rd credits.

WALTER KIRKLAND GREENE has served Wofford for two years as its first alumnus president. In this short length of time he has shown his unquestioned leadership in logical solutions of the problems of today. After sixteen years as Dean of Undergraduate Instruction at Duke University, he returned to Wofford with a rich academic background and with membership in many important educational commissions. With energy and foresight he is not only working for the present Wofford but he is also planning for the Wofford of the post-war. DR. HENRY NELSON SNYDER, Wofford ' s Honorary President, has been with the college through fifty-three years of diligent service. Nationally acclaimed as an author, a linguist, and a speaker whose style is inimitable, he has become for every Wofford man a symbol of deep religious faith and of challenging ideals. His remarkable leadership in civic and war activities have won for him awards of which few men can boast. ADMINISTRATION DEAN CLARENCE CLIFFORD NORTON is well known hy all Wofford men for his vivid humor and his ability for understanding the prob- lems of every student. During his two years as Dean of Wofford College he has displayed remark- able ability in adjusting the institution to the unusual changes and has served well as a co- ordinator between the civilian and the military. He continues in his post as professor of sociology and political science. PROFESSOR JOHN LEONARD SALMON, Advisor of Wofford Students at Converse College, is the person most endeared in the hearts of Wofford students this year. This is not only because he is the V offord representative now with us and has served Wofford College for twenty-two years as Professor of Modern Languages, but because of his outstanding personality and those intangible qualities he possesses such as ' giving but seldom receiving. His mere pre- sence, along with his sympathetic understanding and never failing advice, has served as an inspiration to every one.

Snyder CLERK AND SUPPLY TKe Wofford men at Converse and Spartanburg Junior Colle ges were organized into a regular Reserve Officer ' s Training Corps during the 1943 summer term, and the unit has continued to operate throughout the regular session, ror the one company two C. O. ' s were chosen — Alex Fretwell for the first semester, Wilmo nt Mitchell for the second. Although the unit has been much weaker numerically, the type of drill and the classroom instructions have been of the same high quality as in previous years on the Wofford campus. The primary aim has been to teach the boys basic principles which will prove of practical benefit after their induction into the armed forces. Jimmy Craine, editor Ralph Wilson, business manager PUBLICATIONS The three major Wofford publications have this year been pub- isKed in cooperation with the three corresponding publications of the Converse campus. This marriage of the liberal arts has been very successful and has helped greatly to meet the problems of a decreased student body. OLD GOLD and BLACK The Old Gold and Black, Wofford campus newspaper, was combined with the Converse Parley Voo and appeared bi-weekly during the school year. It served as the distributing source for all important campus news, editorial opinions, and ideas for campus improvements. THE JOURNAL The Wofford Journal was combined with the Converse literary magazine. The Concept. This Concept ] ournal was printed four times during the session and contained interest- ing and varied poems, short stories, plays, book reviews, and essays by student writers. The contributions were reflective of collegiate thought and of a consistent high grade. Pedro Trakas. editor Wilmont Mitcliell. business manager THE BOHEMIAN The Bohemian was published with the Converse Y ' s and Other Y ' s. Now in its final form it contains pic- tures of the four classes and in oc- casional snapshots, it catches some of the color of Wofford life on the Con- verse campus and the pleasure the boys found here. Troy Barrett, editor King Scoggins, business manager WHO ' S WHO AT WOFFORD The Wofford students elected four seniors for membership in W o ' s W io Among Students in American Colleges ana Uni versities. This year, for the first time, the men were sefected by popular vote of the student body. W io ' s W io, published through the cooperation of over 500 American universities and colleges, is the one na- tional recognition o f stude nts, devoid of politics, initiation fees, and dues. It serves as an incentive to education; as a means of compensation to students for what they have already achieved; as a standard of measurement for students comparable to other recognized scholastic and service organizations; and as a recommendation of successful students to the business world. This 1944 annual is necessarily smaller than the volumes published in previous years. The staff has tried to pre- sent the most important activities of the 1943-44 session. Many of the clubs and fraternities have not been active on this adopted campus and their customary pages have naturally been omitted in this book. In limiting the organizations to be included, the staff s aim has been to picture the essential features of Wofford life at Converse. Usual activities not included in the 1944 annual are: Phi Beta Kappa . . . highest national honorary scholastic fraternity. International Relations Club . . . high scholarship is the basic requirement. Pi Gamma Mu . . . ideals of scholarship, tolerance and social service. Sigma Upsilon . . . for talented campus writers. oigma Tau Alpha . . . ' honorary Christian leadership fraternity. Student Christian Association . . . campus-wide religious organization.

Athletics at Wofford College. 160 Beginning in June, 1944, tke Wofford student body will return to the Wofford campus. TKe interlude on tlie Con- verse and Spartanburg Junior College campuses has been memorable to every man who studied there. The adminis- tration and student body thank them both for every courtesy. ALMA MATER On the city s northern harder, Reared against the sky, Proudly stands our Alma Mater, As the years go hy. (Chorus) May it ever he our watchword, Conquer and Prevail.
