NATIVE AMERICA I My Father’s Mother’s Native Land, Thou Land of noble free, For thine own rights I will now stand. I’ll give my all at thy command, America to thee. Chorus: America the golden, America the free; I love the flag, the stars, the stripes. Representing thee. II Thou Land of the United States, Thou Land of noble free, Thy future open holds the gates, We cast with yours all of our fates, America with thee. III Land with noble laws, and wise, Thou Land of noble free. Thy greatness now we realize, We’ll do our best at last to rise, America with thee. IV Blest thy mansions and thy cots, Thou Land of noble free. We’ll shield thee from all plots And cast with thine our lots, America with thee. —Mary Aydclott

HELEN MARIE REULING Greater pens than ours might avail as little in trying to do justice to “Skinny.” She has been a real leader and as president of her class, has accomplished exactly what was to be done. Above all, she is made up of an amazingly harmonious mixture of brains and good-fellowship. JOHN J. McGINTY Although John’s heart has been lost, his ability as business manager has been given to the Annual and his affairs of heart have not interfered with his duties (especially that of keeping the “Staff” on the “jump).” MARGARET BERNICE SCHURMAN Campbell’s Soup is widely advertised, but when it comes to good qualities, it can’t compare with our “Soupie.” If you don’t believe that she likes to dance, consult the prophecy.
