% om Dedicated to the Old Building Old Building, we love her with girlish delight, She knows all our heartaches and pleasures so bright; To the top she was speeding, none kept up with her pace: She fell to the earth as she won in the race. Old Building, dear Old Building! She fell to the earth as she won in the race. She’ll rouse from her slumber, we’ll soon see the day, Her head lifted proudly to race again, they say. Oh ! may she ne’er stumble as she the goal doth win, She’ll rise too high above us, her flesh, her blood, her kin. Old Building, dear Old Building! She’ll rise too high above us, her flesh, her blood, her kin. Then let’s be up and doing, for when she does awake She’ll want to see her children the highest honors take; And let our Alma Mater find this her dream come true, We keep up to the standard in everything we do. Old Building, dear Old Building! We keep up to the standard in everything we do. Mrs. W. A. Christian. 8
