ALMA MATER Our Alma Mater glorious, With loving hearts and proud, We crown thee all victorious And sing thy praise aloud. In loyalty we serve thee And strive to heed thy call, Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Through self to conquer all. You give unfailing kindness If trouble meet us here, You foster all our pleasures And make them seem more dear. Nor time, nor care, nor sorrow Can these fair days erase, But they, with each to-morrow Help us new tasks to face. Like breath of Springls fresh morning That lifts the heart to song, When courage droops and wavers And paths seem gray and long, XVill come thy dauntless spirit To help us on our way. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Hold fast thy tender sway. The changing years may bring us Some longed for dream of bliss, Yet memory will cherish A sympathy we miss. In hours of joy or sadness, Whateler our need may be, Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Thy children turn to thee. ABDICATION SONG Oler our place the shadows gather As the time draws near to part As we linger here this morning Face to face and heart to heart. Chorus: H erels to thee oh Alma Mater May thy name be ever blessed On her name whose great heart planned thee May thy daughterls blessing rest. As you take these seats oh Juniors May your tongues the chorus swell 29 Till you reach your day of parting Till you also say farewell. Chorus: H erels to thee oh Alma Mater May thy name be ever blessed On her name whose great heart planned thee May thy daughterls blessing rest. As we leave this place forever T 0 our hearts the sad truth tell With our thoughts of love and sorrow Now we bid them last farewell.
