They were very solemn and inn pressive and from beginning to end the program went off well The song, Shall we Forget was sung first to the tune. "Auld Lang Syne:" Shall we forget those far off days,
 Which made us comrades all? Shall we forget how swift the feet
 That ran at duty's call?
 Shall We forget the honored dead.
 That sleep beneath the sod, Who gave their lives for liberty,
 Our country and our God? No, here we pledge fraternity
 With ev'ry human life,
 That sang the songs of vict'ry won,
 Or fell amid the strife;
 And when at last we answer "here, "
 As death each name shall call, We'll leave their ranks with charity
 And loyalty to all
