On September 1, 1919, a band of wandering musicians came dancing into the institution of learning, singing the following song: 1. Too soon we leave thy fostering love and care, And with the world our joy and t rearm re share; All due honor, all true fame, We will owe to thy dear name. 2. Our wise teachers all have done their best To train our minds in Latin, Math, and all the rest, Hut seme do shirk and some do cram, Hut more still grin right through till exam. 3. The dear old campus with friendly shade. The green ivied walls and classic halls so staid, Verdant Freshies’ society frays. Will he remembered those days. Chorus: O, High School days, dear High School days, May thy sweet memory linger long: O, High School days, dear High School days, For thee we will he true and strong. “College Song.’’ Class advisor: C.
