NEMO I Q S T0'25 We sing of the Class of '25 So jolly and kind and true, 'Til time immortal, '25, Our thoughts will be with you. We sing of sports athletic, Our prowess in the field, We won the coveted trophies, Being taught to strive-not yield. Not only on athletic fields Were many Ihonors won, The faculty approved t-he class When school-tasks were well done. In studies, each one did his part To famous make his name, And through the four long years each strove To try to play the game. Oh, class, we're mighty proud of you! Your deeds on record stand, And through the years, let us remain A trusty loyal band. Pls ek Pk Pk 214 Each class has bravely struggled on Witlh endless doubts and sighs, Now we, like they, M. C. H.
