-4 'i ii 1 1 i 1 ANNALS I ll, i Bradford Songs l In the quaint old town of Bradford, ' Where the Merrimac River flows, I Stands the dearest school in all the country The school that we all chose. 3 i I CHORUS Oh, Bradford, our dear Bradford! The school we all adore, We will sing to thee, our Alma Mater, i Now and evermore. ip 2 'Tis the place where we have frolics Mixed in with lessons all, VVe learn there to be good and true, The highest thing of all. This school has stood for ages, Its girls have won renown, But they all turn back to thee, dear Bradford, To lay their laurels down. ' 'v- . . ---l-l l How we love our dear old Bradford! With its ivy covered walls, L And the joys that ever echo p Through its stately, dear old halls. l NVhere the hours of work and pleasure yi s Roll by on the wings of fun, , But when exams assail us, ,, l 'Tis then that we want to run. , p 5? il But alas and alack! the morning, - p p I 4 I' 1 It is the time we dread! , When the frightful noise of the clanging gong - y p l Drives us out of bed, How we scramble and rush and hustle, ' To be ready at twenty-five past, E For we think it a fate most direful Until luncheon time to fast. We know that we have our critics D T, il In quaint old Bradford town. p W V When we eat our sweets in public, p How darkly do they frown? . p , l l Il But we hope when they see us coming L, Our smiles they'll be glad to see, For of all schools in the country, p Bradford's the place for me.
