We hope you'll not forget,
Old Sem would give you one more rule,
To love her memory yet.
She stands to-day as e'er she's stood,
A loving Mater kind,
T.impart to all the highest good,
Which mind can give to mind.
And when she sent her summons forth,
To children far and wide,
She's glad to see from South and North,
Them Hocking to her side.
She opens now her doors and halls,
Her children all TO greet,
To old and young alike she calls,
And is right glad to meet.
And every year, as summer comes,
She summons all her boys
And girls, to leave their other homes,
And share in common joys.
The trees which stand in yonder grove,
These grounds with beauty grace,
She now regards with special love,
For those who there did place.
They struck their roots they reared their head
Their spreading branches grew.
They flonrished tho the years have sped,
They still remind OF you.
So what she planted in your minds,
AS deep root did take,
And now and here she gladly finds,
That you returns do make.
This day TO her is full of pride,
To see old friends appear,
To see that thus from far and wide,
So r4..-.y gIJner nere
Again a welcome she would speak,
A welcome ardent, true,
Old friends you will not need to seek,
They're here to welcome you.
So, shake the hand, so bid, what cheer
Soread in every eye,
The love so warm tall who're here,
Which time will neer let die.
We Alumni ye Alumniee,
Your Alma Mater here,
Does greet you all, she's glad to see
Her children, still so dear.
All teachers, too, who once here taught,
welcome is for you,
We're glad that you have not forgot,
Come and cd scenes renew.
We hope you'll have so good a time,
You'll long delight to stay,
And then when full of prose aud rhyme,
Youth name another day.
When, as shall come each year around,
Thro' our curriculum,
You all and each will be here found,
And feel yourselves ''to hum"
