Yet let no sad-shed tear despoil the gladness of this day, But let us rather raise our sound in joy and happy play, Making what's gone fond Memory to grace sofme future day. VVe welcome thee, O future scenes who will our acts approve And greet thee with a smiling eye entrusting in thy love. And farewell, O farewell we say with tenrler words to you XVho have our guiding hand e'er been these many long years thru, The school wherein our hopes were shaped The fairest Wlhite and Blue. L. Austin 17
