Senior Song We are gathered here as graduates To swell the parting chorusg Our future hid, silent our fates, Unknown the path before usg For now at last the time is here That we must part forever. Old I. H. S. you seem most dear, As these sweet ties we sever. CHORUS. Class of the white, class of the blue, Our hearts to thee incline, As we sing of friendships deep and true, In the class of Nineteen Nine. Our colors, the blue of the summer sky, The white of the pure snow gleamingg And we face the future with purpose high Our banners proudly streaming. Our rose in petals White arrayed, XVith not a speck to dim them. May it keep us pure and unafraid, As innocency's emblem. Words by Music by MILDRED BRENNAN GENEVIEVE DAVIS U61 '

The Naughty-Niners For three long, weary years we wandered discontentedly Ejgizlihical about, seeking suitable places for our habitations.

In the four fol- Growth lowing years our census has changed remarkably, our num- bers diminishing until now we are reduced to about half of our original force. But this half embodies all the mighty traits and powers of a nation thrice its size, Indeed, our intellectual capacity was so great that early in our history the situation became serious. But the Fates governing our destinies, seeing the need of some restraining influence to keep us from too quickly exhausting the supply of knowledge, contrived a new system for using up our superfluous energies. goremmenf Gui' government is an elective limited monarchy, the chief llef . . . . . . .
