Hymn America the Beautiful Katharine Lee Bates / Samuel A. Ward

O beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassion’d stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw Confirm thy soul in self control Thy liberty in law! Recognition of Awards, Prizes and Special Honors Jeffrey L. Gordon ’69 President of the Board of Trustees

Senior Song Strangers once, we came to dwell together,

Heirs of the Gov’nor, tried and true;

Now we’re bound by ties that cannot sever all our whole lives through

Gather closer, hand to hand, the time draws near when we must part;

Still the love of Byfield days will linger ever in our heart. So pass the ancient milestone by, and lift the Senior Song on high;

around the ancient milestone file while we have yet a little while to linger, youth, and you and I, in Byfield Days.

Benediction Cole Fitzgerald Forbes ’11
