Svvninrz THE CLASS OF NINETEEN FOURTEEN. ACADEMY OF BACONE COLLEGE. Oh, seven boys and girls are we, This year of ten and four, We launch our barques on life's great sea, And seek the enchanted shore. Two races in our class unite, Both strong and brave and free, Two colors twined, the red and white, Our sign of victory. Our forebears in the years gone by, Betimes in war were foes, Now rest in peace those heroes brave, Revered in their repose. We furl the red, the Hag of war, And twine it with the white, To show in friendship, truth and love, Two races now unite. The triumphs of the battle field, May win a victorts wreath, YVhile triumphs of the quiet life, May bring more lasting peace. Then we will change the arms of war, For sickle, plow, or pen, And teach the world in truth to love The arts of peace again. Oh, seven boys and girls are we, This class of four and ten, Proclaini to earth the joys of peace, And seek good will to men. -W. A. S. SHARP.
