M is for Monkeys who love Mischief well, And so do some girls here, but More we won ' t tell. N stands for Nothing, so do Not be vexed If I just drop this letter, and take up the Next. O ' s for Opinions to Open One ' s eyes, Given in class when we wish to seem wise. P is for Pains and for faces all Pale, Which just before churchtime, on Sundays, Prevail. Q is for Questions and Queries Quite Queer, With which we kill time when the hour ' s end is near. R ' s for the Running, which follows the bell, When we Rush, tying neckties, to breakfast, pell mell. S for the Serenade, loud and Sonorous, Sounding So Sweetly, ere Slumber Steals o ' er us. T ' s for the Theories, some of us hold, But which we don ' t practice if Truth must be Told. U ' s for the Use, most Unusual, made Of a golf-stick, for stirring up iced lemonade. V ' s for the Vigor with which we ' ll essay To Vie for a Victory on our Field Day. W ' s the Watchman, most Wakeful of Wights, Who Wards off all danger and harm in the nights. X is for Xerxes and Xantippe, who Xpired before aught of Abbot they knew. Y ' s for this Year, — to its end it has drawn — And so has this rhyme, so stifle that Yawn. Z is for Zach, the last but not least, And now I must stop, inspiration has ceased. 15

In the spring we really did our very best to defeat our betters at ball, and although it cannot be truthfully said that we accomplished our purpose, yet, nothing daunted, we shall try again. We have had the extra advantage of a severe mental training, and as we have all learned that mind rules matter, 1901 has the greatest hopes of success. Thus peacefully passed our first year as a well organized class. The final year saw our gallant band reduced to fifteen, and fif- teen we have remained through all the vicissitudes of Psychology and Ethics and Theism.
