When we part—friend with friend Who'll leave us fore’er at Our rainbow’s glowing end. They mean a lot to us, Those boys who won't return; We'll try to show them that Before we all adjourn It's hard to say good-bye To those who won't be hack, But, till that last sad word, Nothing for them shall lack Before they part from us, On different trails to wend, We'll show our love for them At their last rainbow’s End.

QUAD RANGLE sconce They'll have to howl no more When bugles blow retreat. “Old Men,” “Rats,” and dogs have Dreamings that sweetly blend; They long for finals’ joys Our rainbow and its end. Fee ings ineffable These sweet dreamings bestir, Dut they’re naught as is felt Whken the “last rites” occur. There'll be plenty o’ mirth When finals roll around, But, for each happy laugh, There wil be a tear found. There'll be those in our midst ROLLER FAMILY

“Bear It With Pride” In these times, when fortunes court, In these days of fame, very man must “‘strut his stuff”, Must have a “high-brow” name, A “Trumpeter,” in days of yore, A “Bugler” then was he, CONS ae ” : ci Musician” to his cadet friends, These times demand all three. Just take today ; a rear-rank man, A “Private” in the mass; The Social world hails him by A “Private——First Class”. Now, look again, a “Corporal” proud, To every man a foe, They’ve even dared to boost his name, They called him— ‘ N. C. O.” But what is worse, a “Platoon Guide”, Now surely that sounds fine! Has changed his name to sound like this, A “Sergeant-Of-The-Line.” “Lieutenant” is not grand enough, His name’s been altered too, He used to be just plain old “First,” But now he’s “Senior Lieu.” “The Captain,” Sir: was the “Old Man” To all his organization, He’s “Company Commander” now, They’ve changed his appellation. 3ut there’s one name, bear it with pride, ‘Twill never change, don’t fret, The most high-sounding name of all, The “A. M. A. Cadet.”
