NINETEEN THREE 117 Through the Alphabet Aughty-Three is a hue old class, A class that never fails to pass, Which love their teachers and their school, A class that never breaks a rule. To ne'er forget a single one, Through the alphabet We 'll run. Tx is for Argue, a mother to all, , And for Anne, a guard in basket ball. B is for Barnes, who soon is to wed , Also for L. Browne, Self Government head. C is for Cable, our president of fame, Also for Childs, flower-favored dame. D is for Diligence, a part of our class, E is for Eppens, who ne'er fails to pass. F is for Florence, e'er ready to bluff, Also for Farnham-let that be enough. G is for Gertrude, liked by us all. H is for Hayden, just five feet tall, Also for Helen-Brown is her name. I is for lsadore, always the same, J is for Jolly, which comes from our heart, K is for Keuffel, who excels us in art, L is for Laughter, a friend to us all, M is for Macomber, stately and tall. But Maude and Mary we must not forget, For they leave, too, with true regret. ' N is for No one, so a blank you must see, O is for O'Dwyer, fond of Ireland was she, P is for Polly, for Yale's honor she cheers, Q is for Quiz, which oft causes tears. R is for Raynolds, for Cornell she does yell,

THE CHIIVIES A deep, deep tone sails aloft all alone, And I anxiously turned and heard Maude Mathews to shout, while Sally helped out, And Grace Westcott sailed on like a bird. Well, I declare ! there 's Trude Childs over there, Submerged in a genial great grin, While Ruth O'Dwyer sat, bemoaning her fat, As she peeped o'er her huge double chin. Then I turned me to go, but departed slow, For I heard a most marvelous trillg Helen Raynolds had passed in her essay at last, And the judges had all had a chill. With sorrow I started, for 'twas hard to be parted, As I aimed back at Ruth Warner a grin, Through a clamor most frightful, tho' withal delightful, Mary Crandall was making a din. I gazed at the scene with interest most keen, And longed to remain and see more, But off down the hall, where you couldn't see them at all, I knew I should find 1904. .
