MISKODEED 1914 With Apologies to William Shakespeare Friends, Students, Classmates, lend me your ears; 1 come to praise the Juniors, not to degrade them. The evil classes do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; Let it not be so with the Juniors. The learned Seniors Hath told you Juniors are not ambitious: If it be so, it is a grievous fault. And grievously will they answer it. Here, under leave of the Seniors and the rest. — For they are a learned class; So are they all, all classes, — Come I to speak in behalf of the Juniors. They my classmates, faithful and just to all — But Seniors say they are not ambitious; And they are a learned class. They have brought many honors to the school, Whose laurels did the general scholars share: Surely this in the Juniors seems ambitious. When that the others have played, the Juniors have worked: Could ambition be made of sterner stuff? Yet Seniors are a learned class. You all did see that on the Lyceum They thrice presented goodly talent. Which you did thrice enjoy: that v as ambition. But Seniors say they are not ambitious; And, sure, they are a learned class. I speak not to disprove what Seniors say, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all look up to them, not without cause: What cause with-holds you then to work for them. O School! thou art turned to heartless people. And students have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the class rooms there with Juniors And I must pause till it comes back to me. —Ruth tiutherland, ' 15. 23

To be, rather than to seem. Hamlet ' s Soliloqy (Revised) To study or not to study, that is the question Whether ' tis better not to study And take the risk of flunking. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And learn long lessons assigned. To cram, and cram, perchance to flunk, Aye, there ' s the rub. For when we once fall below the line What chance have we of regaining lost time! No chance of Juniors and Sophomores Can win the favor of the faculty. To be a Senior — to graduate — to cram no more. And by graduating to say we end the toils and The thousand mental shocks our brains are heir to Tis a consummation devotedly to be wished. We regret very much to announce that two of our most talented Juniors failed to get their pictures in this book. Their names however are given below.
