March 16. The people all from far and wide Had come together for to see, For close unto the Reedy’s side The gypsies were to give a tea. The fortunes of both young and old That night were by the gypsies told. June 4. Of other things there ’re not a few Remembered pleasantly by all, But they all shrink away from view As going home to mind we call. At going we are all quite glad, But does not parting make us sad ?

December 21. Our faces all were wreathed with smiles, Our hearts were full of glee, f 01 nearly all were homeward bound, The dear ones soon to see. I he ones who homeward could not go I hat night received ’neath mistletoe. January 6. Sad to relate, we soon returned, And fell into the same old way, So were quite joyous when ’twas learned f hat we were going to have a play. I hat night we saw teachers weren’t made, And one at least had missed his trade. 16

Our Girls, Chicora girls are hard to beat, Chicora girls are fair, Chicora girls are very sweet And have a winsome air. The Seniors are so dignified, And they are half afraid That some one will not deem them such, And then they’d be dismayed. The Juniors are so very kind To the Seniors they adore, Especially when St. Valentine Comes knocking at the door. The Sophs are fair to look upon, And always stay in place, But with the Juniors they try hard To keep an equal pace. The Fresh we have and Specials too, A half a score or more, And with all these we constitute The grand old seventy-four. Oh, when we leave these dear old walls, Sweet mem’ries we ’ll retain, And we shall oft and oft desire To meet here once again. Chorus. Hurrah, hurrah, for Chicora girls, hurrah! Hurrah for the bonny sweet girls, That at Chicora are. M. S. H. ’o 18
