N E W POEMS A N D SONGS

MESSAGE OF T H E ROSE
The fragrance of the rose
Softly is borne on the air.
Jacqueminot rose teaches freely gifts to share;
Service, hope and love to the world about us we give,
Thus thy dear spirit, Alpha O, shall ever live.

Words, A N N E T T E M A C K N I G H T , Delta, ' 1 4 .

SPELLING SONG
There are frats and jolly frats
In this great country wide
But the best of them all to you
Now I will confide;
For she stands for loyalty, spirit true, and love ;
Let your song ring clear and strong
To skies above.

Chorus Delta. '16.

A - L - P - H - A starts the run
O-M-I-C-R-O-N Omicron is done;
P-I, you and I, and the others reply
You've done the best ever
When you spell A O n.

OUR FLAG
() Flag, our Flag, we have seen you in the morning,
In the laughter of the sunlight, in the beauty of the dawn,
With your blue field like the azure of the sky that bends above us.
And your stripes the glorious symbol of our soul that marches. o n -
Blended peace and fire and vision—mighty soul that marches on.

O Flag, our Flag, we have seen you at the noon-tide,
In the wonder of man's worktime, in the din of crowded marts.
Then you seem to be the struggle, be yourself the shame and sorrow
Speak yourself of unfulfillment and the pain of human hearts—
Feel their failure and their triumph—O thou flag of human hearts
