Fling the colors fair, red and white so true, Alma Mater, thanks and praise we sing to you. Abington! Abington ! Honor thee. Honor to thy faculty. Our love remains with thee, As we now pass along, with boastful song, Never wrong. For we know with Abington comes ever victory. When thy teams appear and the battle’s on, Then we will raise our voices clear, Dear old Abington to cheer. As we leave thy doors for the world’s great strife. Be it peace or war we’ll love thee all through life. Chorus. Cho. ELSIE MITCHELL. Riff! Wrack! Orange and Black. Hip a zoo roo zoo Wha—who—wha Ko-ax, Ko-ax, Ko-teen. Nineteen, Nineteen, Nineteen.

If our own minds we must deceive, A tangled skein of falsehoods weave, We cannot hope to keep it from Appearing in our ev’ry deed. And thus, with mind and conscience numb. Comes ruin through fear or sordid greed. Then let us not lose those ideals Which we have ever cherished here. Let none of us through greed or fear, Develop our Achilles’ heels. By which our honesty receive Its mortal wound. Let us not heed The luring voices, never leave These ramparts, which, in time of need. Will keep us safe in each attack; Entrenched behind them, we may see Defeated wrong being driven back. And in surrender bend the knee. HAROLD C. ROBERTS. 14

a hr (Class |Jrnplfmi An txprrimrnt in Swntifir (Elairmuianrr Because of our interest in the coming science of the clay, which is known by the name of Psycho-Analysis, my friend and 1 have been called upon to demonstrate as far as possible the great advantages derived from such a science. Now, fellow classmates, this little experiment which we are about to perform is neither impossible nor improbable, as I hope you will be readily convinced upon the completion of our task. e are not paid as human advertisements to come before you this evening in order that Doctor h reude. the great nerve specialist, may acquire more patients—not at all. N ou have, tic doubt, heard of this authority whose name I have just mentioned. He had been able, under the inspiration of ancient and modern philosophers to bring to light this new form of mental science, which is being applied in the service of mankind by one of his disciples in New York. The origin of this wonderful philosophical science is clearly brought out in the recently published edition of Monsieur Bergson’s “Creative Involution, which book we have just completed with the keenest enjoyment. In this book, we are told that it is just as easy to read one’s future as it is to recall one’s past, not as the palmist reads it. nor as the fake fortune teller of today: but through a stratagem of philosophical theorems based on the facts that were derived collectively out of the scientific and psychological depths by the combined efforts of this great man. The scientific principles underlying this theory appear before us not as myths nor as misanthropic ideas, but as true facts; and in order to prove these facts, we shall, to the best of our ability through your kind attentive support, try to convince you this evening that such a science is possible. Since this is such a precarious experiment we beg of you to give your undivided attention, as it is necessary for you to answer two questions on these cards which will be handed each individual. These questions are. although slightly personal, very important; and. if not answered by the most concentrated mental effort on your part. I am afraid that our contemplated success will be claimed a complete failure. The two questions which are most significant are. first: “W hat is your supreme wish?” and. second. “What incident would most excite the feeling of explosive hilarity?” And I might add that you will please sign your name in full on the last line designated for that purpose. But. my dear friends, it may be of interest to vou to know that it is posssible by some of the intricate 16
