THE THRESHOLD Belly Bom iiazos, ' 42 Today there stands before us A door that ' s ()p)ened wide, A door tiiat beckons you and me To come and step inside. This door for some may open To riches and to fame. Bill all may find an equal ciiance To carve a noble name. Fear not the ' orld. oh students. It ' s friendly as can be. For ' neath that hard exterior It welcomes you and me. Slandinp on this threshold We hope for sweet suc(e». For love and strength and honor And years of happiness.
