CLASS ODE.
Farewell to Alma Mater's halls,
With saddened thoughts we leave her walls, To launch our barks on Fortune's wave, There unknown fears to meet and brave.
Four years in golden Wisdom's quest Of all our years we count the best, In Mem'ry's fortress they will last, Unscathed by Fortune's changing blast.
And may the class of Ninety-eight, In duties small as well as great,
Bring naught but lionor to the name That adds each year to Quincy's fame.
And, classmates, though we now must part, The thoughts of Friendship fill each heart With love, that time shall ne'er efface, Till Mem'ry holds no more its place.
Elizabeth Gertrude Ward.
