THE CLASS SONG Alma Mater


While pausing in this doorway nearest Life's inviting road, We gather in our harvest fair-we bear a precious load. O Classmates, ever upward toward the goal we truly seek; Our destiny of Service found upon the highest peak.


You've guided us along one path, O Alma Mater, dear! . But now this road is steeper, and our way seems not so clear. Your vision helps at every turn-we heed your silent call; For you, enshrined in us tonight, have taught "Truth Conquers All." Music by Marion Stickney, '46 Words by Richard Mackenna, '46
