ALMA MATER Bennett, now our voices raise, Harmonies of grateful praise; We, thy daughters find thee fair, Loyally thy colors bear, Truth and honor in thy halls, Faith and love within thy walls; Every dear to us thou art, Firm within each loyal heart! CHORUS Alma Mater, now we sing, Hail the light that thou doest bring; True we ' ve been throughout the past; True to thee while life shall last. May we never smirch the good Gendered here in sisterhood May we ever choose aright Guided but by honor bright; Ever lovelier shalt thou live, As thy daughters freely give: Ever glorious above, Testimonies of our love. ' Til the evening shadows fall, ' Til we heed our last clear call, Mother, may we offer thee Lives of worth and purity? Go with us throughout the years, Smile on us in doubts and fears; Bless us with thy tender care, Mother- -fairest of the fair! I E» ' » ■ •kAi '

KENNEDY A LIGHT HAS GONE What be the tears and the turmoil that I see; A light has left the world for all eternity. Let the nation and the world pay homage unto him, Our leader, from which the freedoms of the world did stem. Great a man so he was in his memorable years, Expressed so deeply in four long days of tears. Hail to our chief, in silence may he rest, His light never be forgotten, his years be the best. So be the trend of freedoms never-ending fight, That lived within his soul and come to be his might. Mourn not his death, for it t ' was not in vain; The liberties of man n ' er be so easily slain. His beliefs and his principles shall live forever; As he fought so hard in each of his endeavors; True Democracy shall miss him indeed, And rely on his philosophies in time of need. A shot! A scream! was all that it took; A sob, a tear, and then a mournful look. The President is dead! May God save the world, Defend his beliefs, less be there more turmoil. Then; six white horses on a sunny day, Rode our chief in silence to lay. The nation drowned in its terrible shame While forever upon his grave will burn the eternal flame. His journey as in Christ ' s, was to save ALL mankind; So cry not any more and look not behind. Life will never cease to exist, though GOOD men die; The nation and the world forget just why. May God protect our country, in its years yet to be, And let not his death hamper our strive for universal liberty For such was his life; may generations unto sing Of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Long live the King!
