Motto-Esse non Videri.
CLASS ODE. Air-" Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms." Now we stand at the portals of Lite's open gate, Through which we so soon must depart, And anxiously now Life's great call we await, And pray for the best in our heart.
1
The last four happy years have been joyful aud gay, With no thought of grey care to alarm, And now we are sure as we enter the fray That we every foe can disarm.
Alma Mater so fair has prepared one and all To face every fact unafraid,
And as we go forward to answer the call, We know that we're all well arrayed.
In her halls we have learned to be fearless and true, And to make every ideal high, So that now every game that we play is true blue, And we know that success will be nigh.
We all know loyal friendship will ne'er break apart, As the years roll along in our life, And we'll say with true fervor and faith in our heart, That we'll try to e'er conquer in strife. To our own Alma Mater we now say adieu, To our teachers, the warmest of friends, And in this last farewell which we now bid to you, We pledge to be true till life ends.
