You've been mighty patient with us each day; We know out in life, your lessons will pay. To Mr. Fox and Mr. Fling we give our thanks. You're swell to overlook our many pranks. And Mrs. Gossett and Mr. Planto we offer praise For guiding us through our Senior days. Mr. Lane has been our guiding hand: There's not a better dean in all the land; Unless, perhaps it's Mrs. DcPue, Severe and stern, yet kind and true. You've all been good and treated us swell, You've taught us our lessons and taught us well. We've had our fun in club and class— We only wish that it could last. But as we take our places in office and shops. We'll think of Tech and say it's tops. Now to the Juniors, the class of forty-three, We leave to you this little plea: Keep on trying, even when the way is dim. Beat Jefferson at Football, keep trying for a gym. Inspire school spirit, be a Techman true. Keep on with the Annual, we started it for you. Have fun in your clubs, and work with a will— These things we ask when our shoes you fill. To go from school life into life's school. And now as we leave and follow the rule. We utter the Parting Words of the class of forty-two— Goodbye, Tech, we'll always be thinking of you.
