6111:2532; lelmemy gm...n.......n.......i3 ET CRANE fawn. .........i..............-. .n...........g...................0 G From north and south, from east and west, Came boys and girls in knowiedge-quest, All shapes and sizes, short and long, A most amazing, motley throng. Came they shyly, came they hold, Some young in years, some rather old, T0 the sandstone building,towered and spired, Renowned for wisdom there acquired. As trod they now that sacred ground, In wonder deep they gazed around On Seniors, boastful, vain and haughty, On Juniors, mirthful, carefree, naughty, On Sophs twho one short year before Were green as they now joined to score The Freshies for simplicity, And at their actions howl with glee. These venturers in high school life, Embarkers 0n the sea of strife, Who trembling stepped within the door, Were you and I, one-nine-one-four. How well remember we that day When heart and soul of ours did pray That we commit n0 blunder, and Thereby escape a wrothy hand. Upstairs they sent us, to the hall, Where pictures hung upon each wail; We saw them not, we only thought Of what might pass should we be caught Aedoing something we ought not. And each oneis name was called, forsooth, To which the luckless maid 01' youth, Arising, must, before that crowd, Give answer, Presentf right out loud. Then teachers punned upon the name, And smiled at all our eiforts lame. Ah! but what relief was ours, When, graciously, the ruling powers Enlivened us with words like these, You may go home; pasg quietly, please? We left the building, towered and spired, Refreshed by knowledge there acquired, Which we must share with every friend Page Ten

Who, to our tale his ear would lend. If older, smiles came in reply, If younger, wonder-opened eye. The days departed, one by one, And, step by step, we learned the run Of things in life at Walnut Hills, A life quite fraught with fears and thrills. How every forty minutesT time A period was, not oft sublime. We grew to answer HSir instead Of itMa'am ; quite firmly fixed in head Where room fifteen was sure to he, Who taught us Lit and Botany, Though still we iioundered Tout at sea? Anon there came the direful day e Demerits dread beset our way; Shuddering, we prepared to die, But 10! we flew not to the sky! We learned to chase the bugs and label Them as well as we were able; We fell the prey of B and C And sat in tubs unwillingly. To Caesar we were introduced; TTwas that or Dutch, so whats the use? We found the ttxt in Algebra, And mixed with ttElo in dread fray. Then once a Senior, brave and bold, The virtues of The Gleam extolled, Requesting pieces of our gold. A few subscribed. a rabble read; We hate to knock, but truth is said. Through Irving's eyes we England viewed; With Bryant friendship we renewed; Page Eleven We read of fair Evangeline Mid Acadieis primeval scene; With Oberon, Titania, and The mischief Puck, we danced in hand; The Gold Bug cypher we did trace, Then wondered at the Great Stone Face; Till one day came examination, The herald of great j 0y, vacation. Two months and more passed by before We stepped again within that door, But then how changed our actions were, Appearance, too; we all concur In saying itwas a reformation Befitting higher education; From freckled Freshies, frightened, green, T0 sweet ttC girls, not quite sixteen, To noble youths with brow serene. Once more we wrestled with our work tBut never lost a chance to shirki ; That German, Latin, English stuff Annoyed us wieder; ,twas enough, But with it came tah, misery D The specter, Plane Geometry; While History its best did try To make it clear to us just why The Greeks and Romans climbed so high. We understood enough to pass; 01' course, that is, most of the class. Of Roderick Dhu and Malcolm Graeme, 01 Ellen fair, whom each would claim
