ii ?i -f o i 1 Y N Class Ode CROSBY, DEAR OLD CROSBY C R O S B Y that spells a name That we'll always have in our memory, With Blue and Gold in true ecstasy, In our hearts will remain the same. CHORUS Crosby, dear old Crosby, we are parting, And on life's great highway we are starting, Though where'er we are you'll know we're working And to duties we will ne'er be shirking. When trials come we'll not run away, We've been taught if We're brave they can not stay, Crosby, dear old Crosby we are leaving, And we'll take your name with us alway. Mem'ries of school days will surely be rare, Because we can never return to them, Crosby we'll hold as a priceless gem, For our friendships we formed while there. -Vernon Hardy '33 Page thirty
