Class Song Tune—“My Little Girl.” Come, let us sing of our dear school days, Those of dear ’16, And friends we love so well, Of whom we’ll often tell; Soon all cares of life will claim us, Joys will then be past. But memory still will cheer us to the last. We’ll sing our last fare-well together Of our colors true, With kindest feelings, we will bide with you. Chorus:— O class-mates dear, ’tis time we’re parting After four short happy years; O class-mates true, sweet mem’ries linger And we long to stay with you. We’ll ne’er forget, our teachers loyal, Our school days we’ll ne’er regret; But now behold, our banner flying Of the turquoise and the gold. —Marion C. Hallberg. 22

 Senior Class Editorial UR course in the Ottumwa High School is now over. During the four pleasant years spent here we have had before us a consistent preparation for both a higher education and a practi- cal worthy life. Whether we have absorbed these opportunities and added them to our natural ability remains to be seen by our actions in the fields we enter. We love our Alma Mater for the keen interest she has taken in our welfare both personally and collectively, and we realize the distinction it gives to us to have been a part of that institution. o o o 21
