GYMNASIUM AND TENNIS COURT To train the mind, indeed, is well and grand; But harm will come unless ’tis done with care. For mental powers not alone can stand, The body, too, must do its rightful share. Tis Wartburg’s aim that both be fully trained, And thus she strives to give what each demands; So when her students find themselves arraigned In duty’s court, each charge they may withstand. The well-built structure here before you staged Serves as the home where muscles strong are made. Baskets galore within these walls are caged; Decided is their fate who here invade. But do not fail to note these tennis courts. We look at them with joy, and say with pride That tennis soon of all our worthy sports Will take the lead, if it maintains its stride. By Wartburg students on this happy spot Full many hours are spent when work is o’er. Though time passing many scenes will blot, This one will long be kept in memory’s store. [Page Nine]

W stands for Wartburg so noble and grand; It ' s the place where Wartburg girls live; Not ev’ry home in this far-stretching land Such comforts is able to give. A stands for Atmosphere that here pervades, So peaceful, refreshing, and calm; This fact is a-credit to Wartburg maids, For which they deserve well the palm. R for Mrs. Riggers, the matron dear, Who rules with motherly care; Her words, at times firm, are always sincere And tend to each maiden’s welfare. T stands for Tendencies that here are found; They are not the usual sort. Music and laughter are heard to resound, Although work is of great import. B stands for Busy, for here you will find There’s a time for toil and for play; ‘Tis needful, indeed, for body and mind That both in their turn should hold sway. U stands for Union, for all are as one Whatever the duty may be; Most difficult tasks are easily done Wherever there is unity. R for Restrictions that lessen the joys, For this is a home of rule, But each regulation some aim employs That later will help in life’s school. G stands for Girls, ’tis a fortunate maid Who has known this place as her home; She will ne’er forget the stay she’s here made; Wherever in life she may roam. [Page Eight]
