Some of the stars gleam gold;
Some brothers have paid the full meas
ure
And died with honor untold
Their sisters are we, ever loyal:
We. too. love the land of the free;
Our hearts are aglow for the service
flag
That stands for the boys over sea.
And both kinds of stars shall be well
coined
The stars of the blue and the gold
For the Rulers of Heaven must be wait
ing
To crown them alike and enfold
Wit His love. both the boys that fall in
the battle
And those who return at the end.
For all. may God in His power
Keep strong to acqult them like men.

gram were the histories of the men

the history Of the class of 1919 since
it made its appearance at Colby. each
laying great stress upon the actIN-
ties Of Phi Chi, and the treatment re-
ceiVed at the hands of the Sopho-
mores, and also the trea tment which
the class of 1919 gave the class of
1920. Mr.. Drew closed his speech as
follows: "Enveloped by a spirit of
self-sacrifce, we the Junior class Of
Colby college have brought forth our
history today and will bury it deep
tomorrow. but not so deep as the ab- =
sent members Of our class will bury
the Kaiser when they bring their his
tory not before a college community,
but before an enlightened world Of
democracy"
