From far and wide across the land
| We've gathered here as a happy band.
We've kept in mind a noble plan,
! To be help TO our fellow man,
And here We are as Seniors.
Chorus.
Seniors (The tried and true), Seniors
(of c. II. UD,
To the emerald and the rose well
faithful be
Seniors (Our course is done), Seniors
(The prize is wOn),
Forward march and let the whole
world know
We're Seniors of c. H. L.
We've watched the days so swiftly
pass,
Ever the Nineteen-Eighteen class
With purpose high and courage strong
Has forward marched with happy
song,
And here we are as Seniors.
Our motto prophecies our fate,
That "Honors wait at labOr's gate;
And we from all the colors chose
The best, the emerald and the rose,
This class, the class of Seniors.
And now althO' our honors won,
| The course at last we've fairly run,
We pledge our loyalty anew
To our beloved c. II. U.
When we are now the Seniors.

1879
