I think that l shall never see Another place so dear to me: A place where hearts are ever bold When fighting for the Black and Gold, A place that e'er is teaching Light, The path of Right opposed to Might, A place where all should strive to please And value try before all E's, Within whose walls our course is run, Our day now o'er, our work all done. Praises are sung by fools like me, But only McKinley can make them be. II. 1 know that l shall never see Another class so dear to me Or other friends like those 1 know, Altho my hair grow white as snow, A class whose colors, blue and white, Shall ever by my guiding light, A class where all have worked as one, Sharing troubles, sharing fun, But soon will part, iorevermore, The seniors of Iune, in '34. l wrote these thoughts, dear class of mine, But already God had made them thine.
