1 The College Side On the green and silent hilltop By the laughing, wind-swept river, By the fresh and fragrant meadows, By the grove of whispering hemlocks, Stands a college, young in years; And this college has a purpose, Purpose bright like glowing embers, 1 Like the torch of truth and wisdom, ' Like the torch of liberty. To portray this purpose splendid, ' Carved upon the Totem Pole, Is a tree skyward reaching By the shining river water, By the rippling, white-capped water. Like the tree, the college strengthens, Grows in knowledge and in numbers, Stretches ever upward, outward Seeking wisdom, truth and vigor. Thus through days and years unnumbered, Thus shall grow our Alma Mater. ALMA MATER Alma Mater by the sea Our hearts in love are lifted to thee; We'll carry thy standard forever, Loyalty TolCHE: Faith, friendship, and love. Hail to our college, white and blue, We'll keep through the years all our love deep and true; Our Alma Mater, we love thee. Ivied walls, CLCaGalls To loyalty true. 17

il The Class Side In the college on the hilltop Is a class of youthful maidens, Is the class of Twenty-Two. And this class, upon its mascot Carved with Indian signs its story: First for wind there is a figure, Wind that blows both strong and freely, Whisp'ring softly in the hemlocks, Rustling through ttie elm-tree's branches, Blowing always strong and free. Once again there is the college On the hilltop by the river, Symbols of our Alma Mater, Alma Mater by the sea. Neath these, are two Maidens standing Clasping hands in friendly fashion, Token of true amity. Then at last the first four classes, First to form the cycle four; Thus are mem'ries kept untarnished Ever living, ever glowing Symhols of our love for thee.
