Old Gold and Black is ever waving high.
AS Fresh we adore her, as .Sophs we ex-

AS Juniors patrol her, as Seniors extol her,
And weep to leave fore'er her sacred
halls.
Though frtune forsake us and fate Ger

And DER memory's treasure we'll drink
without measure
And sing fore'er our Alma Matters praise
