Sweet are the memories, precious and

Linked with thy summers Of azure

Cherish thyy legends with TRACED

Legends where love reckoned not OF

Land of Sequoyah my hearts in thy
keeping
o Tulledega; how can | forget,
Calm are thy wales where the silence
sleeping
Wake into melody tinged with regret.
Let the deep chorus of llfe's music
throbbing
Swell to full harmony born of the
years,
or for the loved and lost tenderly
sobbng
Drop to that cadence that whispers
Of tears.
Land of the Mistletoe here's to thy
glory,
Here's to thy daughters as fair as the
dawn;
Here's to thy pioneer sons in whose
story
Valor and love shall live endlessly on.

meeting was called without consulting
the committee, of which he was chair

mending a course adverse to that recon-
mended by the committee. He stated
that he had not received back from the
