1913 Class Song (Tunc, “Goodbye Everybody”) Behold the Class 1913, loyal and true to colors gay. Behold the colors that now are floating aloft in bright array. We all will always remember the white and blue, to which we are true And we will be sure our love will endure in the days to come. The days we loved are ended and this farewell song we’ll recall. Chorus: — Goodbye dear old High School, Goodbye white and blue, Farewell dear old schoolmates, farewell colors true. In the days to come we’ll think always of you, goodbye. We need no song to make us remember the days gone by. Goodbye dear old teachers. Farewell schoolmates gay, Goodbye dear old schooldays, for they are ended today.

Ot)£ .Acts of tl)e (Tlass of 1913 Chapter U 1. Now when the class of 1913 was assembled in Ottumwa which is in Iowa in the days of 1909, behold these Freshmen from the Irving and from the Adams came to the temple on the hill, saying. 2. Where is he that is the chief of all the High School, for we have heard of him from afar, and have come to worship him. 3. And when Hammitt the chief priest heard of this he was flattered. 4. And it came to pass that as these youths and maidens entered the synagogue the chief priest called them together and said unto them. 5. Verily I say unto you, thou shalt not whisper in any room, neither shalt thou shuffle thy feet nor loiter in the halls, for he who transgresseth shall be brought be- fore the chief scribe and punished. 6. And in those days many of the youths were brought to the faucet of the temple and baptised in the name of the 10's and of the 1 l's and of the 12's. 7. At this many were pleased, but the converts whispered among themselves, and were exceedingly angry, for they had not yet dwelt long in the synagogue, and were sinful. Chapter 2 1. It came to pass after some weeks that Swank, one of the chief priests whose name was Orville, appeared before the vast host and said, 2. Thou shalt appoint brothers and sisters to the number of four to watch over thee. 3. So at that time came one Goldsberry by name, a youth of noble bearing and mind, and was appointed to the chief place among his kinsmen. 4. Of helpers had he three: Margaret whose name was Swan, Marjorie whose name was Martin, and Imogene who was a Porter, all renowned for wisdom. 5. And when a banner was needed, a committee of the kinsmen were chosen who selected blue and white, and the rest of the tribe were exceedingly glad. 6. And after many weeks, came the tribe together, and know- ing of their wisdom, placed Warden Fann and Mignon Baker in the council. 7. And Goldsberry seeing the need said unto them, Bring ye money that we may have a feast, and behold all the class and teach- ers flocked to Halberg's and were goodly fed. Chapter 3 1. When Goldsberry knew that the year was passed, he with- drew and new rulers were chosen. 2. Chief among them Shoe- maker, a youth of brilliant looks and a look of goodly cheer. Again were three noble sisters chosen to help him, Mignon who was a Baker, Weltha who was a Norris, and Orphelia of La Dew.
