24 TEES ORACIG Songs THE BLUE AND WHITE. Tune, “By the Old Oak Tree.” i UR school days soon will ended be; O The time draws near When we as students in these halls Shall no more appear. 3ut although we depart from this dear old school, Where we've learned to obey every helpful rule, We'll not forget its memories dear Which we have cherished year by year. Then let us gladly sing,— CHORUS. Fling out our banner, Dear old flag of blue and white. Oh, may it ever Help us to do the right. Emblem of truth and purity, May we ever loyal -be to thee.

TALE ORACIE: 23 flicting emotions, and at the moment of sailing for the Orient you will rush down the gang-plank, crying: “When love and duty clash, Let duty go to smash.” LILLIAN SNopGrass—The most astonishing thing in your future is that you will cease to habitually wear a white shirt-waist and skirt with a linen collar and a black bow. You are very energetic and passionate, and you have decided philanthropic tendencies. You will become matron of a Chil- dren’s Home on the East Side, and will spend your time in running after small howling children to keep them out of mischief. LuLu STtRYKER—Your great power lies in writing songs and poems. If I read your hand aright you have a glorious future in store for you,—a fut- ure created by this talent. Only beware! You have a desire for celebrity at any cost, and unless you are careful, this will mar your life. Again, I say, Beware! Martin StuTsMAN—You are fond of chasing butterflies and have caught many in your day, although they have all finally escaped from the meshes of your net. But now you have caught another, who seems a volun- tary captive, though sometimes fluttering tremulously at your approach, and who will cast a Rosy glow upon your remaining days. Inez ToLLes—You are kind-hearted to all mankind. You will be pet- rifled while combing your hair. Iiarry THompson—During the long winter months you have often gone Berrying, and although you have found only one little Berry this one is so sweet and satisfying that you will be abundantly repaid in the future for all the trouble and hardship of your search. Ava WeEsTPpHAL—You are a mistress of ingenuity and artifice. You will marry a rich Alderman, and will come to a class reunion in 1925,—‘‘and even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed” as you will be. Emity WINANT—Y ou are modest, timid, and retiring ; very solemn, and never known to smile. You are simple, unaffected, and afraid of boys. You will take refuge in a convent to escape them. AIMEE CONANT— There’s a prim little maiden named Aimee, Who likes little boys, just the samey ; And they'll line up some day In fine battle array, While she chooses Jack, Willie or Jamie.

ELE ORCA CLs As onward we go. And when the Autumn of Life appears, May the harvest be rich with the fruit of our years. But still, ‘though many years be flown. May schoolday memories be our own. Now let us gladly sing,— CHORUS: Lutu M. STRYKER. IN PRAISE ‘OF NAUGHTY-FIVE. Tune, “Old Nassau.” Ip. HEN first we came into this school, We made up our minds to strive ; We started in to do great things In praise of Naughty-[ive. CHORUS: In praise of Naughty-Five, once more, Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah; The school will give while yet we live Three cheers for Naughty-Five. Ik In the years just past we've done great things, May our spirit long stay alive. Tn years to come the school will sing In praise of Naughty-Five. CHORUS: WR But now we've got to drop our work, And let other classes contrive Yo do for themselves what we have done In praise of Naughty-Five. CHORUS: 25
