Oh dear Blackstone, Alma Mater, We lliy daughters come to thee, Seeking friends that make us nobler, Seeking truth that makes us free, Seeking courage, faith and wisdom, And the strength to triumph zvrong, Hear, oh, hear us, loving mother, As zve lift to thee our song. CHORUS Guide, oh guide us, mother dear, May zve ever feel thee near, May thy daughters live and love And grow forever, mother dear, Oh—Oh Blackstone, here’s to thee, Here ' s to truth that makes us free, Here’s to fame and praise and honor, And a student’s love for thee. ii. Hail—oh Blackstone, Alma Mater, We with grateful hearts do sing, For zve called and thou didst answer, Did thy treasures to us bring, Did unfold to us the mysteries, Both of books and friendships true, Now thy daughters answer gladly, Here’s our love, Blackstone, to you. hi. Oh—Oh Blackstone, Alma Mater, As we sing our parting lay, Life’s work calls, we dare not linger, Though with thee, zve fain would stay. Parting comes, but zve’ll remember These our happy college days, And be true to thee, dear mother, Guide us with thy love, we pray. 80 - Features MISS BLACKSTONE .MARY DOUGLAS MOST STUDIOUS .EVELYN 11 AM MACK MOST TALENTED .GERTRUDE DRAPER MOST BEAUTIFUL ..MARIETTA HORNER MOST JOVIAL ..
