And when a motto we must choose We gather to scatter we chose. With green as our colors, Nasturtium our flower. And with officers four. As we needed no more, To a very high place we then did soar. And now if you ' ll listen we ' ll tell What this great class has done ; Why — we ' ve made good friends And studied — some. For —
