Afterword. Thus the noble record of a noble class draws to a close. Once again, Western Maryland College sends forth from under her protecting care a band of men and women in whom she reposes her confidence and on whom she rests her honor. Themost self- sacrificing endeavors of an able faculty have worked together with most auspicious environments to prcduce a class worthy of our Alma Mater. Shall we not justify the trust? Ah, yes! I see my answer beaming in each hopeful face. "We wl11not fall 'The college on the hill:" Each stately oak which greets the western wind, each mountain peak which blurs the western sky, each famlliar tower that crowns our college home shall be cherished in our memory, sacred and inspiring. Thus cheered on to victory, we cannot, must not fail. Ours is each fond tradition, ours are her many triumphs, ours are all her hopes for future greatness and It shall be our happy lot to do honor to her loved name whatever we may do and wherever we may be. Then wreath the cup with Green and Gold. Let every triumph now be told. Come forth ye scholars young and old! And sing her praise with accents bold. Around the board let each one stand And nectar hold with earnest hand, While we propose the toast most grand "Long live O! Western Maryland!" 49
