Che Freshman Alphahet A is for Ability, and that’s what we’ve got, B is for Boldness, and that’s what we’re not. C is for Charming, and surely are we; While D is allowed, for it comes after C. E means Enchanting, Enlightening, and such. F stands for Fun, and we’re full of it, much. G spells out Good, though you would not believe; While H is a thing that can always deceive. I is for Intellect, Intelligence, too. J is the Joy that the Freshmen give you. K marks a word we can spell into Kind, A word that for us is quite easy to find. L is for Love and for Loyalty strong, M is for Mounting the roads that are long. N stands for Newness that makes us so green, And O for Oppressions we bear with unseen. P ’s for Politeness—Oh, yes, we are that! Q is to show that we’re Quick as a cat. R is for Ready to do what we may, With S for the Smiles that we give you each day. T is for Tardy—we’re always on time, U is quite Useless because it won’t rhyme. V is for Virtue and Valor as one, And W stands for the Work we have done. X, Y, and Z have their place if you’ll look, But you won’t find them here on the page of this book. You’ll have to look further until you have seen A poor, little Freshman all trembling and green, A-learning the alphabet such as it is, And then, I will wager, she’ll get A in this quiz.
