0 R CLASS S0 6 Here goes we'll set the pace, And now We'll state our case. These are the scenes we will see Forever cherished they'll be. First there's our Royal Blue, To help tell us from you, The Class of Fifty cheers, Throughout the years. As freshmen we had fun, You kept us on the run. As sophomores buddies We picked, Now Juniors, Big Sisters slick. Seniors and then we're through, Still wearing Royal Blue, The Class of Fifty cheers, Throughout the years.

Page eight UREWURD Elmira's so different from other col- leges. I don't know just what it is, but-3' Visitors on campus are always saying itg that's how we all feel. This intangible some- thing makes an endless task of catching the Elmira spirit between two impersonal leath- G6 er covers. We've tried to express our feel- ings on the subject countless times through- out our school years-in song. What bet- ter theme, then, than a musical one, ,to catch this mood and to impart it as best we can to whom it may concern. Our class song captures a great deal of the person- ality of the uhailing class of '50 , so we use it to introduce the sections of our year- book. The countless other Elmira songspof the past and present best threw-'lQhti on the mysterious over-all Elmira spiritg thus, verses from them are used as picture cap- tions and as titles. Someone once said that music is the universal language of man- kind . For us, he spoke the truth.
