Ubi sunt qui ante nos In mundo fuere? Vadite ad superos Transite in inferos Hos si vis videre.	Where are they Who were in the world before us? You may cross over to heaven You may go to hell If you wish to see them.

Pereat tristitia, Pereant osores. Pereat diabolus, Quivis antiburschius Atque irrisores. (vers. C. W. Kindeleben 1781)	Let sadness perish! Let haters perish! Let the devil perish! Let whoever is against our school Who laughs at it, perish!
