'xxx If '7 OUR CAMPUS THE CRIMSON AND THE BLACK In the grand old state of Texas, Beneath fair Southern skies, You'lI find some lads and lasses, In whom love and honor lie, We are gay and free and happy, Nor courage do we lack, For we're the true defenders Of the Crimson and the Black. When our school days have passed o'er Us And we leave Mexia High, Still in love with Alma Mater We will laud her to the skies. Although we may all be parted, Fond memories will turn back To friends and gay companions Of the Crimson andthe Black. 9 .as 5 .yi -?':'-Ig HOMEMAKING COTTAGE fe iii ay: Vi 1 '-. f K u 245 1 v 5..
