If tlie s| liin were asl ed wily tlie I ' ierian sprinf; is no more, tliat lady (or is it an animal, or lioth?) would answer, Louise ri iL;i-r. That is the correct answer. Acting upon the advice of Pope, Louise has drnnk so deeply of the waters of the famous spriufj that she has left only a few drops to he distributed among the rest of the stu- dent body. And yet, contradictory to the fact that she is a regular fi.sh iu regard to drinking, in every other respect she is a shark. If it weren ' t for her, what would the magazine do? If it weren ' t for her, what would Grammar do? And if it weren ' t for her, what would Student Goveinment do? Oh, questions too deep for tlie sphinx! mi ' m = N WV c7 1 ' ' iB gi i mv. . 30

Whenever there wa.s need — That is, requests from Ujiper ( las Only did we heed ! For the Sophomores were wary Of our number great and strong And never interfered with us. No — not the whole year long- - And when the Juniors gave tlitir |; We danced as Freshmen roses And swayed there in their garden With many graceful poses. We showed our prowess, too. that By skillfully debating. And roundly beat the Sophomores. Our facts more clearly stating. Another class then met defeat (Fll mention it in whispers.

And taught them by experience What then was common knowledgi That our class, nineteen fifteen. Was just the best in college. We showed our true class spirit 21 lav
