ALMA MATER If hurrying years have dim ' d the past Or busv life made you deplore The jovous davs of youth, let ' s cast A backward glance and live once more Amid the scenes which we shall greet, Let ' s live agin with you now here Thev plav our games, our classes meet; Youth mu st be served, give them a cheer. Once more I climbed the hill To see those ivyed walls That welcomed me, and still Fond mem ' rv to me calls The forms, the voices of the past. Here at Old Bloomsburg, dear to all Whose pleasant lot was cast Amidst her friendly halls, recall The days of vourh, the happv past And feel the thrill of present days For here the friendly spirit stays.
