THE MIRROR Gilman 15112111 Gwen Nelson. NVe hail thee, dear old Norwood High, VVith love and adoration, And as we leave thy learned walls To seek new occupation. VVith hearts aglow, Staid step and slow, VVith heads held high We say Good-bye, We'll love thee, aye, forever! VVe are the class of June '18 We are not few in number, And so with all our sixty-five Each other class out-number. In courses three Divided, we, Did lead our way For many a day, And now comes graduation Our life has held but four short years Of High School education, VVC read in our big hist'ry books Laws of emancipation, Geometry- Star students we CFD And Latin, too, We stumbled thru' In this line High School building. We were the first proud freshman This new High School to e-nterg Each loved it as a happy home And was its gay frequenter. And now we are First to unbar Its further gate, Completing eight Quite well defined semesters. We bid farewell to teachers dear, And than-k them for their prudence That helped us learn our lessons we And made us faithful students. Not only books From dusty hooks Did we peruse, But learned the news The present world holds vital. class ll WVe learned to love our country first And next to her our school. VVe all must help our Uncle Sam! Our ardor must not cool! We'll work for him With mighty vim To down the Hun And spurn each one VVith righteous indignation. And now we leave our childish life For works of men and women Each in his own fixed way must tread The path of every human. Some leave these walls For college halls. While others go To farms and sow To help the cause of freedom. Now let us turn with sharp salute And greet our soldier brothers. Already five have joined the ranks. And later there'll be others. One sails the sea A Another three As boys in brown, And one has died in service. Fair maidens cannot go to war . But they can learn to knit, sir, They can make sweaters, large and sma And fill the soldier's kit, sir. They've learned the art And do their part, But very few Have failed to do The work assigned to them. Dear Alma Mater may we leave NVith thee this parting vow: VVe'll all be honest, brave and good And, once our hand put to the plow, VVe'll do our best To stand the test. A XVe'll 'do or die' And now, good-bye! We'1l love thee, aye, forever! ll
