 May Union School be ever dear
 Tous the class of that glad year,
 The year of Ninety four.
 In recollection's lasting bond,
 Our echooldays shall be held,
 And may the fire of memories fond
 Our friendship serve to weld.
 When we have stemed the seething tide
 And many struggles OCT,
 And bring back times of yore.
 Ffdeliter and fortiter
 We'll keep in deeds feIicter
 The notices Of our youth.
 With Carp Diem e'er in mind,
 We'll let no moment pass.
 And ne'er forget nor leave behind
 The spirit of our class.
