CLASS ODE, 1917
O gay old world, O grave old world. To you we come today ; We knock and ask for welcome, And this is what we say : "Your, many ways lie open ; Their invitations press,- In each the bud of promise That hints the flower, success.
"We're ready for the journey, Altho the way be dim, For we bear the torch of knowledge That it may light us in ; We bear the sword of purpose, Which struggle makes more bright ; We stand beneath the banner Of honor, faith and right.
"We pledge to you our service, Unwavering, staunch, and true, And offer you our talents,- Some, many ; and some, few. And now, old world,-and yet young world, --. Our standards you have seen ; So open wide your portals To M. H. S., '17 !"
- Margaret Riley.
