Mary Richardson married a car conductor, but as he didn't love her, she got a transfer and became a doctoress. Diseases of the heart were her specialty.

CLASS SONG. GRACE Xvoomauay Rrzumxu Music by GRACE Q x ou. HL i i ann Hail, all hail our Alma Mater! As We tread her halls once more, Let us join to pay her tribute For our joys in days of yore. Happy are the years we've spent here, Years that melted fast awayg Bonds of friendship gladly forged here, Firm and lasting ties are they. Memories gay and glad surround us As We scan the happy pastg And the lessons we have pondered Now are o'er and done at last. Yet, tho' we should like to linger, Happy in our duties still, Other feet are pressing onward Eagerly our place to fill. Now we're looking towards the future: Each is fashioning his life, Starting out to iight his battle. Taking armour for the strife. May our shield be ever Honor! Standards find in Truth and Right! To our colors staunch and loyal We go in to win the fight.
