ALMA Oh, clear Blackstone, Alma Mater, We thy 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 wrong. Hear, oh, hear us, loving mother, As we lift to thee our songl Chorus Guide, oh guide us, mother dear! May we 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! {8 MATER Hail—oh, Blackstone, Alma Mater, We with grateful hearts do sing, For we 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, I fere’s our love, Blackstone, to you 1 Oh—Oh, Blackstone, Alma Mater! As we sing our parting lay. Life’s work calls; we dare not linger, Though with thee, we lain would stay. Parting comes, but we’ll remember These our happy college days, And be true to thee, dear mother, Guide us with thy love, we pray. m { 10 {11 J. Paul Click President { 12 George P.

Cabinet had the privilege of making the new students feel at home in B. C. G. Recognizing that all work and no play proves to be dull, the Cabinet took advantage of the opportunities to sponsor activities of a light vein, such as birthday dinners and etiquette teas. Among its traditional parties are the Big Sister Party, Hallowe en Party and P-Nut Party. Broad in scope were the social service projects of this year which not only aided the less fortunate in these United States, but also gave a helping hand to refugees in war-torn Europe. The vital religious program of the Y. W. C. A. included weekly Chapel and Candlelight Services. The latter, with their quiet meditative atmosphere, provided by soft organ music and tapering candles, were especially thought-uplifting and heart-stirring. During days of study, the Cabinet has had the interest of the students at heart and has endeavored to render them the largest possible service th rough wor th -while and beneficial campus activities.
