N X. THE EAGLE Q9ur Zllumni Here are all the jolly useniorsu Who departed long ago. Ah, we see their happy faces Brightened by the ruddy glow Of the lamplight where at party's In full swing, composed of those NVho are now the pride of Pittsburgh In the fields that, here, they chose. We extend a hearty greeting To alumni members all Who have gathered here together, Faithful to the old sehool's call, Doctors, lawyers, painters, poets Hold aloft the torch of hope To the thoughtful, sturdy students, Who in dark despair might grope. Thus it is our seniors leave us, Those we love and those who've shared All our sorrows, joys, ambitions, When we have, at times, despaired. But they follow in the footsteps Gf alumni who :ire proud Of our dear old sehoolg and cherish All the gifts that she endowed. -F. J. JA Cxsozv. THE PITTSBURGH ACADEMY Fifty-two N I 1? ., f l A 1 41
