THE AGNITA PERSONALS What is more pleasing Than a class so gay, In whom we truly do confide? Whatever we do, Whatever we say, A friendship is securely tied. What is more touching Than a class so sad, Who, having marched on side by side, Must now bid farewell And go the broad way Into the vast world—oh, so wide! What is more endearing Than the school we know, By whose standards we do abide? For God and Country,” Our motto so true, In our hearts we’ll treasure with pride. 13 FLORENCE M. SHELLER
