one of the members of the Junior

We're meeting tonight with the
Senior Glass,
With games and song to cheer
That faithful class which will soon
be gone;
The class beloved so dear.
Soon you'll be launched on the sea
of life;
In various paths TO pass;
But wherefore you go or wherefore
you roam,
Remember the IA class.
We now bid farewell to the Senior
Glass:
May fortune come your way;
We hope that success will attend
On each and every day.
Sad is the parting from the class of
'13,
With colors red and white;
Always were they loyal to their
class and to their school,
And battled for the right.
Farewell tonight, tonight; Fare
well tonight, tonight,
Farewell TO the Senior Glass.
