ZDrtiiration f | L HIS past year has brought remark B L able Progress to our Alma Mater, ■ . raising it to a loftier status and 1 beginning a new era of growth L and development. Just so, we feel, it has taken our Destinies and re- shaped them, giving us new ideals and standards of perfection. With this humbly in mind, and with a keen sense of responsibility, as well as hopefulness, we dedicate this book to the Undying Spirit of Progress and the Future of this Institution as a College.

COLLEGE SONG Our hearts, overflowing with joy and with praise, Right lustily now we our voices will raise And laud thee, fair place we have learned to revere, Thou State Teachers College, to all of us dear. We look with devotion upon thy green walls; We lovingly linger within thy blest halls. Rare merrTries around thee shall ever abide; Thy name we shall chorus with gladness and pride. We cherish most fondly the red, white, and blue, Our country ' s choice colors to which we are true; But hoist we beside them, with glory untold, Our own lovely banner of purple and gold. We look upon blossoms in garden and field; Rejoice in the exquisite fragrance they yield; But none like our school-flower with meaning is fraught, The golden-eyed pansy, bright emblem of thought. To thee we ' ll be loyal, whatever betide; Thy lessons forever our conduct shall guide; Our thoughts will be with thee wherever we dwell; Thy virtues most gladly we always shall tell, Thy fame we shall foster, thine honor uphold, While proudly uplifting the purple and gold. Rich blessings rest on thee from Heaven above! We pledge thee our service, we give thee our love. Francis Harvey Green.
