Cl)c Marionette ’24 Mi A Fireside Tale Now gather ' round here by the fireside And I’ll tell you an interesting tale, Of that school over yonder called Marion Not yet has she furled her fair sail. When I was a Freshman in college. {’Twas in Marion I started, you know) The place was a new institutioni, But e’en then it had started to grow. « r M As a ship bound for shore in the distance, For a land full of promise and hope, The sea where she sailed gave her welcome. From localities ' round came the folk To bid her God speed on her journey. In their midst then, to welcome her there. They gave her a pleasant reception, Their good will she always will share. The crew of that ship, our professors. Were a company loyal and true: And they guided the vessel so surely All the gales and storms we came through. Once the captain was changed for another, And the crew sometimes changed personnel, But they ever were ready to help us, And we honor and love them well. Marion College has had many students From states far and wide—here at home Have come some from the neighbors about her. While some came o’er the ocean’s white foam. But wherever his home or his country, Each student e’er felt that he gained There in Marion a fair Alma Mater, And of her he ' d ne ' er be ashamed rhus that good ship is still speading onward. And she fears not the wind nor the tide; She still carries her passengers safely To the far fields of knowledge so wide. Now my story is ended this evening. But remember it when you depart; For the history of Marion College Is a story that’s dear to each heart. —Elizabeth Wilson. 10 1 ,fl WW ' r
