Roll Call.Ode ... ... "They Cannot Die"
(All present are reqursted to join.)
Say not they die, those martyr souls
Who life is winged with purpose fine;
Who leave us pointing to the goals,
Who learn to conquer and resign.
Such cannot die; they vanquish time,
And fill the world with growing light,
Making the human life sublime,
With memories of their sacred right.
They cannot die, whose lives are part
Of that great life which is to be, [hearts,
Whose hearts beat with the world's great
And throb with its high destiny.
They cannot die, whose lives enshrine
A soul of truth and haman love;
Their beacon lights eternal shine,
Refulgently as stara above.
Then mourn not those who dying gave
A gift or greater light to man;
Death stands abashed before the brave,
They own a life he may not ban.

Closing Ode... "To Sleep."
(All present are requested to join.)
To sleep, to sleep, the long bright day is done,
And darkness rises from the fallen sun.
To steep, to sleep,
To sleep, to sleep,
Whate'er thy joys, they vanish with the day;
Whate'er thy griefs in sleep they fade away.
To sleep, to sleep,
To steep, to sleep.
Sleep, mournful heart and let the past be past,
Sleep, happy soul, all life will sleep last,
To sleep, to sleep,
To sleep, to sleep.
