Excerpt from Proceedings of the Third Triennial Convention of the West Newton State Normal School, July 26, 1848
At 9 o'clock the members of the Convention assembled in Normal Hall, when the exercises of the morning commenced with a song of welcome, by the members of the School, Mr. Lowell Mason presiding at the piano. At its conclusion all joined in singing the following
Song.
Tune - "Auld Lang Syne."
We come! a joyous sister band!
A happy family!
From every quarter of our Land,
To share a Jubilee!
From "teaching young ideas to shoot,"
In many a village school;
From mysteries of "power" and "root,"
And "mathematic" rule;
Forsaking "Blackboard," "Bell," and "Book,"
And peradventure "Rod,"
We come on these "old paths" to look,
Our feet "lang syne" have trod.
Three years have sped, since last we met, -
Three long, eventful years; -
And with them borne their 'customed weight, -
Alternate smiles and tears.
