CLASS SONG.
WORDS BY ABBY S. WHITING. MUSIC BY CARRIE L. LANMAN.
We've reached the port in safety,
Four years we've cruised the bay, Our crew of gallant sailors, Puts out to sea to-day.
Rowing, lightly rowing, Each pull one vict'ry more, Rowing, always rowing, We'll never drift ashore.
We've gathered by life's ocean, A'ready to breast the wave, With hearts aglow with courage, The storms of life to brave.
Rowing, always rowing, Each pull one vict'ry more, Rowing, always rowing, We'll gain the sought-for shore.
