E1-gd ord cyfnnats Plays the roles of comedy. Or, if music you will hear, Miss Jackson's notes will charm the ear In the orchestra, with merry din, Miss Roberts plays first violin. The steam next forms a college green Where many hurrying forms are seen 3 Instructors grave with hoary pates, Seniors and undergraduates. Who are those three who walk this wa Whose heads in talk together sway ? Qne has a mien by no means meek 5 Miss Mitchell, 'tis, who teaches Greek Miss Sawyer, in blue bloomers dight, Teaches the girls to walk aright. The third, should one due form forget Will give her points in etiquette: Or if her costume she should slight, Miss Kleppinger will set it right. Around the corner, off the green, A dainty candy shop is seen. Here Ruth Barton, dressed in white, Dispenses sweet things which delight The senses, both of sight and smell, And please fastidious sight as well. In case of illness here we'd see Marion Littlefield, M.D., Hastening o'er the college green 5 A busier woman never seen. The peaceful landscape fades awav, And crowds of eager faces sway, And eager ears are strained to listen l106l

E3-1151 ord 55' w . Xu, l i 4 I Now a city takes my eye, Its buildings reaching toward the sky. In the lower, meaner part, Steadman and Clark have made a start. No longer aged dames must roam The streets, for here they have a home. Miss Lincoln, with them in co-operation, Saves little children from starvation. Next of a church I see the spire, And faintly hear the chanting choir, I step in on the cool stone floor, And take a seat right by the door. In a corner near I see A smiling, happy family, With Hazel Merrill. Yes, and she Nods and smiles back again at me. From the pulpit, then, I hear, May Nixon preach. With looks severe She brings our sins before our sight, And shows us how to live aright. Leaving the door a friend I meet g ,Tis Dorothy Nash. With smiles we greet Each other, and then onward go Qur ways through this life's fleeting show. The fire is dead. No more doth steam Rise from the cauldron. As in a dream I rise, and wishing all things well, Take of my classmates a fond farewell. H1081 I-nam rv... hnlkdvlhm
