NINETEEN THREE School Songs 'UUU !,, Fair Bradford Tune of Fair l'larvurd'l Fair Bradford, with songs and with peeans of praise Thy daughters their hearts' love outpour. By our fathers of old and with hands that were strong Were huilded thy walls from their store. O, mother and friend of our days that are bright, Thou shalt dwell in our memories warm, Star of our morn and fair herald of light, Ever shining thro' change and thro' storm. Though dwelling afar we come to thy shrine As pilgrims, our vows to renew. Thy groves and thy halls, in the twilight of life, Bring memories of friends that were true. O, mother and guide of our life's autumn days- The gliding years add to thy fame 3 Fair Bradford, long loved by our ancestors gone, May our lives bring new charm to thy name.

Af' CHORUS Come you back to old B. A., E Where the girls are always gayg Can 't you hear their laughter ringing as they joke from day to day? . Come you back to old B. A., A Where the squirrels and robins play, And the birds are singing sweetly and the year is always May. There the gold is always lovely when it's matched with emerald green, And the '03's class banner is the daintiest ever seeng Though just around the corner another holds the Floor, And when you see the violet you know 'tis 1904. CHORUS In the years that swift are coming when the school days are no more, You 'll backward look with smiling eyes on the jolly days of yore. And remember that, though as Seniors you now own the world and more, just one little year distant 'twill be owned by l904 CHORUS
