For now, at last, why should we answer thee? Ask us no more. Ask us no more. What answer shall we give? We love not Virgil, Cicero, and such, And as for Ethics-ah, that's far too much! Ask us no moreg our brains resemble sieves. Ask us no more. Ask us no more, our fates have now been sealed. We've striven four hard years, and not in vain, And never Seniors shall we be again. No more! To our request, we pray thee, yield- Ask us no more. -GRACE M. CHRIST, '28 89

I used to think the morning Was the nicest part of day, It still would be the nicest, If in our beds we'd stay. It isn't half so bad, you know, Once you're washed and dressedg The hard part is to jump right up- We call the bell a pest! When once vve're all assembled, Our eyes then open Wide, And by the time the Chapel's reached, We've surely turned the tide.

The curtain rose first upon the shepherds tending their flocks upon the judean plains. Suddenly they are astonished at the sight of an angel who brings them the joyful tidings of the birth of Christ the King. In reverential awe they follow the angel to the Cave of Bethlehem, and there worship the newfborn King. The second act brings us to the Court of Herod, Roman ruler of the Jews. He is visited by the Magi on their journey to Bethlehem in search of the Infant King. Herod is alarmed on hearing them inquire for Him Who is born King of the jews.
