Fierce lions of war, used in past battle storms. II. The flag staff towered toward the sky, And at its summit did old glory fly, That banner which fills many hearts with pride, That banner loved throughout our country wide. III. The gates were by large cannon guarded These buildings strong, storage place afforded, A keeping safe, for cannon, sword and 81111, For. bravest soldiers, who great victories won. . V But now the Arsenal's history is changed, No more the soldiers and the can- non retained, Instead' our thriving school now proudly stands, Whose record is not equaled throughout many lands. V. Our school has now but two years grown, Yet it has great progress shown, And some day we'll make Tech the best, The greatest school in all the West. VI. And now instead of holding arms and swords, This Arsenal to each boy and girl affords A better chance to prepare for life, To conquer foes in war and strife. We hope the patriotism which once built these walls, May never leave our rooms and halls, That our lives be made better far, To wield more power than arms of War.

2 THE ARSENAL CANNON What an Outsider Knows About the Cannon Hurry William! bring those arti- cles here, said Miss Shover, as she seemingly sailed out of 21 on her way to the office. This is one of the peculiar sights that are to be seen when the Cannon is being put into form for the printers. Boys are seen disappearing through the door- ways, with extremely long sheets of paper fluttering in the wind. Girls, with stacks of paper piled in their arms, run through rooms interrupting classes. Every one takes it good na- turedly because each knows that all this hustle and bustle is for their benefit. Students come straggling in- to their classes, one by one, and when asked for a tardy slip they declare that Miss Shover said that they did not need any. However the admit is not asked for the second time when the teacher discovers that the pupils had spent their time on the precious little paper. Neither do they say, Why do you come to class without your lesson to-day? For they know that to have a good paper, lots of time must be spent on it. If on some Friday morning a visi- tor would come to Tech he would readily come to the conclusion that the students were a loud bunch. Every one grows restless, and cries of Hurry up with the paper issue from different parts of the room. At roll- call they grow still louder, but as soon as the papers come, every one quiets down until the room sounds like a bee hive. Some child in reading a hu- morous article snickers, and before long the whole session room is en- gulfed in laughter. As soon as the bell, announcing that roll-call is end- ed, you would hear, Say May! did you read the things Mr. Thomas found? l' think that powder puff is mine, and I heard Helen say that she lost a nail file and a small mirror exactly like the description of those in the paper. Did you see the schedule? yelled a boy as he dove under his desk after his books. I'll bet you two-bits that we'll beat Man- ual every game, cause I know their team isn't nearly as good as ours. Sure, issued from another corner of the room, I think that our gar- dening is just the thing. On the fContinued on page twelvej Faculty Vacation The teachers of tech are going to spend their summer in various ways.
