Class PoenL ? by E. BARTON, ’37 0 Morris, how we trusted thee When first we cast our lot We came with minds open and free For lessons to be taught. Our faith in you was ever fast On kindness truth and light To guide us patiently with our task To help us win the fight. You have helped us on our journey’ way With smiles so clear and bright You showed to us the dawning day And led us to the light. You brought us through the tangled paths And taught us not to fear You made sweet pleasure rise from wraths We’ll always love you dear. So as we leave these sacred walls With memories lingering near No matter what may be our call Your beckon we will hear So goodbye Dear Old Morris No matter where we go We’ll always say to you dear We love you, love you so.
