Vacation Song. (Air, "Nellie Gray." Pat's Pick, page 60.)

2 Flats.

O, dear is vacation, when the summer hours are come. When we roam in the fields far away; When we gather roses wild, Each a very merry child , And are happy all the long summer day. CHORUS— Oh, school vacation days, When we roam in sportive ways, Have a charm we will remember till the last. Mem'ry '11 keep them bright forever, We shall ne'er forget them ever, Wheresoe'er our lot may be cast. O'er the fields we are bounding, as free as any bird, Or walking by the river's shining tide, And we sing and laugh and play, Toss about the new mown hay, 'Mid the bushes and the trees seek and hide.

Marching Song. (Air, "Blue Bird's Temperance Song." Pat's Pick, page 45; Moderator, Feb 6, 1890.) 2 Flats. OI we are jolly pupils of a lively school, We learn our lesson and obey each rule. We work while we work, and play while we play, You'll find us on duty each school day
