I wonder if they sing those same old Tunes, And have as Inspiration those same Moons; Oh, who would not a joyful Student be, Along about the waning of the Junesf 26. We struggled on and boned a bit each Day — We mixed a pleasant living, work and Play; And if perchance we flunked, why save the Mark — They sent us to the Doctor right away. 27. We toiled and worried till oft after Three — And met the Dawn with Heada-c-h-e; It mattered not, for all the folks at Home Were telling we were going to take A. B. 28. A. B. perhaps, and yet, some flew the track; Because the Faculty icould have ii« back — Or bad, brown eyes, so fatal to Degrees — Who would not be a victim for the Rack? 29. Were those days sad? I ask of each one here, — Were trials such as youth should ever fear? We flourished as the lilies of the field. And wandered through the roses year by year. — John Wetmouth. 36
