The Y's
Great in their influence are the Y's.
Both dwelling on the street called Wright,
Then surely all must realize
They're ready for the hard, good fight.

They place all those who have the need
To work and strive to make their way,
No difference what the race or creed,
And service render without pay.

Tho Christian endeavor is their aim
And uplift is the constant goal
The social life, too, has its claim
As being healthful for the soul.

So here's to both the valiant Y's,
And long may they live on the street called Wright
For close and precious are their ties
And many seek their kindly light.
