The QBID Ziaigb School uf Clinmmzrnze How dear to my heart is the High School of Commerce, When Memory's great store-house presents it to view, The teachers, the tests, and the ne'er-ending lessons, And frequented spots that my trembling feet knew. The up-pointed pin, and the lad that was by it, The mind that was vacant, the memory so poor, The oft-slighted lessons and the poor recitations, And the office that to culprits was certain and sure. The Old School of Commerce, The dear School of Commerce, The beloved School of Commerce, How your memories allure. The gymnasium, too, and the lassies that prized it, The basket-ball team, and the freshies that tossed, The shouts of our foes, and their triumphs repeated, And the games that again and again had been lost. The debating club, too, which we hailed as a treasure, For often when weary, We welcomed the change, And found it the source of an exquisite pleasure, To see in what realms the fancy could range. The Old School of Commerce, The dear School of Commerce, The beloved School of Commerce, How your memories allure. How closely we listened with face that was glowing For any rare point which the speaker might gain, And some with a pride that was quite overflowing, We found we had listened but not all in vain. And now far removed from that temple of learning My thoughts oft return to those privileges gone by, With a thoughtful regret and a sorrowful yearning, I remember with pleasure the H. S. of C. The Old School of Commerce, The dear School of Commerce, The beloved School of Commerce, How your memories allure. ELEANOR MATCHETT, '13 18
