To the Belles

Class of 2015 Belles, I'd like to welcome you home!

To the beautiful Avenue and the Golden Dome.

Maybe right now you are nervous or scared

To embark on your college journey, feeling so unprepared,

But let me tell you first-hand, you have no need to worry.

Everyone's in the same place, you'll make friends in a hurry!

Those friends will quickly turn into your family.

You just gained 1,600 new sisters, just wait and see,

We are all here to help you and want only your best.

To your success here at Saint Mary's College, our efforts we'll invest,

So please get involved, there is so much to do.

Clubs that will allow you to discover the leader in you!

Work hard in classes, attendance is the key!

Everyone can share in your 8 a.m. misery.

But remember to have fun, it's not all about the books.

Save time to impress the boys with your charm and good looks.

The next four years will fly by more quickly than you can believe;

That we are entering our last year is something we can't conceive.

So cherish each minute and enjoy every day.

Grow and explore in every possible way.

Take chances, find risks, don't be afraid to fail.

Take advantage of every opportunity and blaze your own trail.

We wish you good luck, and a fabulous year,

As you now embark on your Saint Mary's College career.
