33 Class ong Through years of toil we ' ve held our way. With sweets and hitters blended; But comes at last this glorious day. When all our toils are ended. Our colors “Red and Black” we prize And nobly have defended. Our aid—on many a tiled--the “Highs” For victory depended. ‘Twas chosen well, our motto brave, In darker hours befriending “Fortiter” ever vigor gave. New courage to us sending. “Fideliter” was our great aim— To weary tasks unbending. “Feliciter” we .justly claim, Now rounds the happy ending. So “1910” its work has done. The class dismissed; must sever. The work of Life has now begun :— Friendships will bloom and wither: But though we roam the wide world through, We ’ll find such true friends never; The classmates there ' s a place for you, Within our hearts for ever.
