| The following the class ode:
"The rarcst bud of tropic bow'r,
| Or transient pride of northern cline,
Tho smiling on the festal hour,
| Reminds Us of parting time
Bnt 10 the gardens of the past
| We found fresh flowers that ne'er decay;
| Ard, friendships wreath DER fond hearts cast,
| VIII fade not, though we part to day.
| Dear teachers, we shall e'er retain
| The priceless treasures gathered here
And oft, in memoly's wide domain,
| Shall wander back with falling tear.
| And when has passed carhs "little while"
! And hope no more shall charm the sight,
| Oh NAV these flowers of friendship smile
| ON Angel biows, in realms of light"
