Pennant Poem Ay, they tore our True Blue Ensign down, Long had it waved on highg And many an eye had danced to see Our banner passing by. Beneath it rang the Freshman's cry, And Sophomores haughty praise, And Juniors often Wailed a sigh, When higher it was raised! Until at last the sad day came, And the destroyers hand Pulled down our banner to the groundg Trampled it on the sand. And Senior eyes with tears did Hll, But loyal hearts are true- We stooped, we picked it up, And keep the remnants still. Senior Class Yell Boom e Hurray! Who's got the say? SENIORS! Rah!--Rah-Rah-Rah! Rah!eRah-Rah-Rah! SENIORS! SENIOR CLASS MOTTO Esse Quam Viderif' To Be Rather Than To Seem To Be SENIOR CLASS COLORS Delph Blue and Gold. SENIOR CLASS FLOWER Yellow Rose, +3

Senior Class Prophecy---Continued mediately to a lady, one of the Representatives who was pleading eloquently for Conservation of Food ,and Better Homes.. In glowing words she painted the awful conditions in the New York Tenements, so that tears were drawn from the eyes of lrnany a listener. There was something familiar in the voice of the speaker, so I inquired of my neighbor who the lady could be. She explained that she knew her very Well, and that it was Fannie Freeman Straw. I was not surprised that my old classmate had finally married Bob Straw, who was now a policeman in Wash- ington, thus enforcing the laws which his wife was actively' engaged in making. Af- ter the session was over I joined the line which was forming to congratulate my old friend, but the longer I waited the farther away I seemed to be from my goal, until all finally seemed to sail away as though carried on a magic ship. A new vista unfolded before me. Now I beheld a bleak landscape in which nothing was visible save a few trees devoid of leaves, and a hill on the top of which was a small building, which as I viewed more closely I found to be .a one-roomed school house, situated in the wilds of Kentucky. The building opened before me and the inside was even more inviting than the outside. Twenty or thirty pupils, ranging between the ages of six and sixteen were seated on rude benches. Glancing toward the front of the building I saw a lady whose appearance could be summed in these words HA typical old-maid school teacher. She was deeply engrossed in conducting the advanced History class and did not notice the mischief hatching in the rear of the room. Soon .a little snake, about six inches long came wiggling over the Hoor toward her, and the teacher on seeing it, jumpedl and screamed in terror. I suddenly realized that the person before me was MYSELF. As I watched the scene in horror it was suddenly snatched away, as though by, a magic hand. I slowly recovered from the stupor into which I had fallen, and looked about me for the old man, who, as I did not dloubt had caused me to fall into this trance, and it seeamed that I could see his white hair gleaming in the distance. He, having read my thoughts and seeing my wish! to look into the future, had for a short time swept aside the mystic veil, and granted my desires. Night had now fallen and I arose, harstening to leave the whispering pines, which seemed enchanted, far behind 4mG.+M. M.
