CLUB SONG (Tune "The Old Refrain) With hea1tand hands we strive to do the best .. Our eyes upon the highest peak doth rest~ Honor -and culture both we have in view, Friendship and Loyalty and courage too• As onward up the path we daily go; We falter IDUch, our steps are often slow•. But for God's helping grace, we daily pray; His hands for us will ever point the way: So to our tasks we go without a fear, We know "To labor i8 a pleasure" here; A smile and song for all• along the -way,. The CULTURE CLUB lives on . from day to day. - Emma Chiles NO'tES: 16
