Who with ignorance and vices

Would destroy the heart and brain.

Our true sword is Education

And grim Ignorance our foe;

We are battling with our passions,

And our spirits are aglow

With a full determination

To accept the proven truth

That the days of precious seed-time,

Are the sunny days of youth.

Day by day the contest rages

And each task that's daily done,

Brings a soothing satisfaction

That another victory's won.

[Pg 51]

Thus the strength we gain in action

Aids in each succeeding strife,

To make the struggles lighter

In the battles of our life.

There are avenues and byways
