Z3o ' OS Old nineteen eight has come at last With all of her joys and sorrows. To speed tis on life ' s journey fast. To guide us on to our morrows. Four long years have we bravely fought To win the fight that now is done; Through work and toil the victory ' s bought- Our course is o ' er — our race is run. And as we to life ' s walks depart, Some to seek pleasure — others wealth. Let ' s stop a moment e ' er we start. To drink to our class one more health. Here ' s to the class that ' s through the mill, ' Here ' s to the yell of rip rah rate, Here ' s to the best e ' er on the Hill, Here ' s to the class of naughty eight. S. G. S.
