The daisy Ia cur flower,
With Its disk of shining gold.
It's fringe Of snowy petals,
And air, both arch and bold.
The poets called II days eye
For il opens with the morn;
II grows IN field and bower
Md all Nature does adorn.
Small but strong and hardy,
Is this dainty little flower.
Never resting. growing ever
In sunshine and In shower.
Our class IL like the daisy,
Flling hravely each bis place,
Aad meeting task aud play.tlgne
With bright and shining face.
DO all you can. as we'll as you can,
Is the motto Of our choice.
II urges us TO nobly work
With hand and soul and voice.
So may our chain Of daisies,
With sixteen links so strong.
Endure in love and friendship
Though future years be long.
