EC? ln visions fair the Freshman sees His silver, bauble dream- A Senior he, with Seniorls ease, The hero of the team. lle is the best known boy by far On every lip his name- The captain great, the football star, VVhose touchdown won the game. Then oh! the ending of the joy A cruel fate decrees- And he is still a pygmy boy Quite friendly at the knees. Although at first the daily trend The Freshman little knows, As one long term rolls toward its end His wisdom slowly grows. The coming year new wonders brings This Freshman is no more: He pecks his shell, he shakes his wings A full fledged Sophomore. In after years, will Freshies know When time their schooldays sever, Though Freshmen come as Seniors go, But school goes on forever. 4' A 4,. -- ' i 1' e D ,.-' .. 1 ..., W .-112. ,,, -' f In l Q SEM T CE 0 oc: 45 .rf
