School Song Contest

School Song Contest
is it not an honor to compose
a school song, in which you can
express some beautiful senti.
ment? Indeed it is. So thought
many of the students, as they
entered the song contest.
Out of the many songs sub
mitted, three were selected by
the judges fpr the final contest.
The composers of these songs
were Edna Cluff, Rex Lee and
Grace Beebe.
These selected songs were care
fully prepared and sung by the
choir before the student body
and judges, Tuesday. December
21st.
After thoughtful consideration,
the judges were unanimous in
awarding Edna Cluff the ten
dollar prize. offered by William
t. Ellsworth.
They also declared Rex Lee
winner of the second prize of
five dollars, given by the stud
ent body.
Grace Beebe's song was given
honorable mention for it's beauti-
full sentiment. But it could not
be adopted. because the music
was the tune to the State song
of Arizona.
William Ellsworth Prize Song
Won by EDNA CLUFF.
Come all students and shout for Old
G. N. C.
Lift up your voices, and sing
Do not wait, and let's never hesitate
Cheer til the echoes shall ring.
Let's give praise 10 Gila for what she is,
Also for what she may be.
We will always defend,
We will fight to the end
For the honor of Old G. N. G.
CHORUS
The all hail to Gila Normal!
She is our pride.
All shout her praises
Let all sing; and let our voices cheer
Til the echoes ring.
All along the line Of gold and purple
She'll never fail.
Three cheers for Gila,
She will prevail.
We must work and show all the other
schools
How they must strive TO succeed;
We shall never fail if we do our best.
Courage is all that we need.
Our tecahers are with US in everything.
Onward, our motto shall be,
For teachers and students
They all work as one.
For the glory Of old G. N. &.

Well reap the harvest which we here

Under the sunny Arizona sky.
See how in splendor they're waving on
high.
