appreciated to such an extent that the
class was required to answer to the
vociferous applause Of the audience
several times,
The following is the song;
There is d school house in this town,
in this town,
And there the scholars sit them down,
sit them down,
And drink from the fount Of knowl-
edge full and free,
And are az good as good can be,
Chorus.
Farewell teachers we must leave thee,
DO not let the parting grieye thee,
But remember that the best of friends
must part;
Adieu, Adieu, kind friends, adieu,
adieu, adieu,
We would like 10 always stay with you
stay with you,
We will lay our book meath the weep
ing willow tree
And may the world go well with thee.
Because we've always toed the mark,
toed the mark,
We now are going on a lark, on a
lark,
We've learned our lessons to IT,
to 7,
As anyone with half an eye can see,
half an eye can see,
The tears are rolling down our cheeks,
down our cheeks,
Our lovely tone has got the squeaks,
got the squeaks
We cannot always stay with out Alma
Mater dear,
But must leave our dear Old teachers
here.
Oh dig our graves both vide and deep
wide and deep
