PAGE TWENTY-TWO Omit Akunmi The worth of an institution reverts To the future power whieli it exerts How it influences the progress of civilization Advances or hinders the works of a nation. ’Tis by this we determine just where it stands, And if it meets efficiently the community’s demands. If we apply this wise old rule As a test for the efficiency of our school, ’Tis then we feel proud at results we find, Those that are gone, came out ahead And did honor to our school, God Bless the Dead. Our school is the foremost of its kind. From this school into life they have passed And among the highest ranks they are classed. With our (‘yes on what they have gained And the heights which they have attained, We will strive with our utmost effort To be a success and our honor support. „ Ralph Alexander, ’2:5.
