CLASS ODE. I.
When first we met, the goldenrod Bedecked our native land, And fields of wheat in beauty waved From strand to distant strand. Now summer breezes steal away To wood, and vale, and fell, In gentle whispers hear them breath The words of our farewell.
II.
The pleasures that the past disclosed In mem'ry fondly dwell, And often, as we backward gaze, Of happy days will tell. And though our future now is veiled, Its calm and storm to hide, Oh! Father dear, to Thee we call, Be Thou our friend and guide. III.
Years passed in study side by side Have quickly sped away, They bring too soon the parting hour. We may no longer stay. So to our school life's cherished scenes, To teachers kind and true. To loving classmates one and all, We bid a fond adieu.
CATHERINE THERESA O'BRIEN.

Dedicated to Wendell G. Corthell, Esq. Copyright, Charles F. Held, 1893.
The hope and pride of all the land, Our Public School shall ever stand, The rich and poor shall gather here, In song shall rise their voices clear ; And day by day each lesson new
Shall open wider fields of view,
And every radiant set of sun Shall see some noble action done.
CHORUS.
Hail, public school, the people's glory ! Above thee waves our banner free, The "Stars and Stripes " renowned in story, Our sacred banner hail to thee. The "Stars and Stripes" renowned in story, Our sacred banner hail to thee !
354
Send hither at dear Wisdom's call The child most richly reared of all, Send hither from the humblest cot The children of a lowlier lot ; On equal terms they all shall meet, With kindly words each other greet, And here, as Wisdom's page they scan, They'll learn the brotherhood of man.
CHORUS.
Through life shall last the lessons taught, With memories of pleasure fraught. We'll track the sparkling planets' light, And mark the wild bird's heaven ward flight ; Earth, sea, and sky their truths shall tell, And all their lore we'll treasure well, And as each truth is understood, We'll learn God's perfect fatherhood.
-Frederic Allison Tupper.
