XVe studied subjects weighty That neyer grew quite clearg NVe faltered by the wayside. But now at last we're here. Although the tasks you set ns XVere dillicult to do, And the scholarship requirements Oft made us cross and blue. Your ears were deaf to pleadingq W'e worked with all our might, And to a noble purpose, As we attest to-night. XV:-'ll take not tearful leavings. NVQ-'ll say no sad good-byes For, though our hearts are heavy, The world before us lies. Our school days have been happy But now ,tis time to go. Behind are recollectionsg Ahead our futures glow. As children, tired of playing, At sunset hurry home. Back to the United High School XVe, too. some day shall come. And when across our pathway Timels cool gray shadow falls, Youill hear our weary footsteps Returning to your halls. To you, oh. Alma Mater, For loyalty we giyeg This be your pride and honorg You taught us how to liye.

It took much to build United . . . more than the passage of years. It took the found- ing . . . the sacrifices of many . . . but more important, one which was motivated by a purpose of the highest essence . . . for she was established to the end that . . . the Youth may be piously educated in good let- ters and manners. Concrete realization of this highest essence was necessary too . . . realization embodied in former graduates whose deeds were testimony of their magnitude of spirit and ambition . . . which were nourished, perhaps acquired through United . . . under her influence. These. too, were the deeds of those who helped the cause of civilization . . . deeds of United and her ehildren.', lt took foresight and faith to make United . . . not foresight and faith because ofv the past but in spirit of the future. XVithout this, the planning would have been in vain . . . with this, United became a living symbol of courage and determination. It was such as this that made men struggle in spite of indifference and inadequate finances . . . it is such as this that makes the heart of the student of United swell with pride . . . for we are a part of a school and we will be ready to meet the demands of the future.
