TO BRACKENRIDGE BY NAN HAGY Bracken ridge, Bracken ridge, we’re leaving you, Braekenridge, Brackenridge, adieu, adieu. Pour years ago, or maybe three, Wide-eyed Freshmen we came to thee; With much to hear and much to see. With much to learn and much to know, With long to come and far to go. Seniors now, we’re leaving you, Dear Brackenridge, adieu, adieu. In Assembly Hall we heard boys great. Exhort, harangue, and then debate, And thy famed victories relate. We grew 1o love, revere thy name, And long to much increase thy fame. Now, Brackenridge. we’re leaving you; Famed Brackenridge. adieu, adieu. And, Brackenridge, ’twas all for thee, Th’ athletic games we went to see, To yell our teams to victory; Excited, marked the combat heat And helped your rivals to defeat. Now, Brackenridge we’re leaving you. Victorious Brackenridge, adieu, adieu. Violet crowned spirit, clad in white, Whose eyes with victories are alight, Our rivals tremble at thy might!

I TO BRACKENRIDGE i (Continued) Spirit of Brackenridge, when we’re gone Thy torch will others carry on. Pair Brackenridge, we’re leaving you Spirit of Brackenridge, adieu! Oh, school without compare, High throne of wisdom rare, Like Athens, Pollas’s care, May the future never cease, To bring you greater victories, Brackenridge, Brackenridge, we’re leaving you, Thou peerless Brackenridge, adieu. We go, and others take our place, And others, theirs, as with Time’s pace. One follows others in life’s race, And, ere we go we write to you Some farewell lines, as other do, Brackenridge, Brackenridge, we’re leaving you; Brackenridge, Brackenridge, adieu, adieu. You will forget us soon, but we Will ever and aye remember thee, Enshrine in hearts thy memory, After, dear school, with many a sigh, We graduates bid a long good-bye Thus, Brackenridge, we’re leaving you To cherish but a memory,—adieu. i I I
