A STRANGE and dread assembly we ; Whatever happens, that we see,— Or lacking that, we quickly hear, For spies we have both far and near. Does Freshman class a meeting hold, We know it all before it’s cold ; Does Sophomore’s brain evolve ideas With wisdom fraught beyond her years. We find it out quick as a wink Ere she has had scarce time to think. Does Junior dare to breathe ! Ah, me. The fact we greet with noisy glee, While o'er the Senior class we keep Close watch e’en while they are asleep. All things for us are common spoil, No secret’s sacred as we toil, Each joke for us its point has lost, Each story which our path has crossed, Each juvenile effusion wise Is viewed with criticizing eyes. But if this book you will peruse. You’ll find what we have deigned to use. The fruit of the entire year Within your reach lies garnered here. If aught here worthy is to live To Nineteen Hundred credit give, If much that’s undeserving fame The Board will meekly take the blame. Peruse, we beg, before you chide And don’t too scathingly deride. We’ve sought not knowledge to impart; To give amusement, all our art. If this a failure—sad to tell We’ve failed in all. Farewell, farewell ! 5
