f ' yy W- . Iliff! L Wi, - f. ffl iff, I-A-L GRAY COURT Graceful in the beauty of thy pillars tall, Rising, fair and steadfast, near the old sea wall, Ardently inspiring those who come thy way, Youthful hearts are singing praise of thee today. Calmly thou art standing, through the years that pass, Otf'ring joy and beauty to eaeh eager lass, Undisturbed by tempests, ehangeless in thy love, Radiant and kindly, like the skies above, Thou, dear Alma Mater, thou art ours to love. A SONNET Gray Court, thy head is lifted high, In calm serenity, with much grace, Calm and serene, beneath the friendly sky Wliitfli watches thee and bends to toueh thy faee, Mayhap the winds may beat thee, tieree and wild, Long may the sun from thee be l1id away, And then, when storms are gone, the heavens mild, Almost may thou be touched by wind-driven spray. Yet thou dost never bend to those less strong, Thou knowest the sun and moon Zlllti stars for friend, And thou who has stood proudly here so long Shalt stand serene and calm unto the end. Thou holdest thy head with glad assuranee high, And o'er thee bends the guarding, tender sky. 7
