Sing humble praise all those that may To them that struggled to preserve The peace and liberty we deserve. They must not from us e’er be lost In the sands of time uncrowned. Throughout the years brave lives were spent To make our country free— All this for liberty! Remember our comrades on foreign shore! Our Army, our Navy, our brave Air Corps; Staunch soldiers they, by courage led, Their loyal hearts must not be bled. No unsung death shall seize a one, We will support them with sword and gun! Praise these heroes of today ! Give them our best without delay; God give them strength for victory ! God make us worth our liberty ! The Corinthian is published twice a year by graduating classes of Girard College. It is produced entirely by the Girard College Print Shop, Phila¬ delphia.

On behalf of the Class of January, 1943 the Editors affectionately dedicate this Corinthian to James D. White, B.S., Ed.M. Teacher of Commercial Subjects and Director of Student Work Friendship Ain ' t it good when life seems dreary And your hopes are about to end, Just to feel the handclasp cheery Of a fine, old, loyal friend? Ain’t it swell when things are getting Just as nasty as can be, For you to see the face a-glowing Of a friend who’s true to thee? Ain’t it fine when you feel badly And everything seems blue, To know that someone’s gladly Putting trust in you? Ain’t it nice when things are turning Topsy-turvy and askew, T0 discover someone showing Good, old-fashioned faith in you? Ain’t it good when you are sliding And are going down and out, Just to see someone abiding By your side without a pout? Ain’t it fine when you’re surrounded By the ladies and the men, To be sure that one among them Neve ll cease to be your friend? 1943 [ 3 ]
