But this is not the worst; there follows more — Deep hid within the Freshman, young and green, A secret longing for the green to win At hockey, flaunt their flag on towers gray, And have the joy of being champions. On week-end nights the stairs in Pembroke East Were scenes of rapture deep and singing loud — The rapture surely ours — can you ask? And when we later found the stand to take, We then did love them more and more and more. I seem to hear our Betty rise at this, And with Swift groan, cast an indignant look. For one thing I will say for those proud queens, They welcomed rushing with a stately grace, Thought it misplaced — but then, we were so young, They ' d guide our steps in paths that they should go; The influence they had was quite unique — Might be compared to any Loreley — For Freshmen sat upright, rejecting sleep, Examinations facing by and by. And then a foolish joke got spread about, That furnished fun galore for trivial minds; The Birds, they called any devoted pair That seemed to have a run on heart- to-hearts ; But one thing I must say, right here and now: The birds in colour were not all dark blue. Perhaps we ' ve wandered from the theme in hand To praise our Seniors and speak gratefully Of them for much forbearance on their part; And though we teased them, even in our play, We all admired — this I think was plain; And lest we say too much, we ought to cease By giving one long cheer for 1907. Maegaeet M. James. 24

Our auguet Mentor© To tell, or not to tell; that is the question: Whether ' tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and slammings of outrageous classmates, Or to take arms against a sea of teasings, And by resenting, end them. But this must end. No more a copy of far worthier poet, But story of my own I ' d here inscribe; The Hamlet speech it now leaves far behind, But way of telling may remain the same. As Bacon is to Shakespeare near allied, So is this scribe to Shakespeare next of kin. (Now, do not smile, my friends, nor pity him) On with the tale, let joy be unconfined. In our Freshman year, When we first came here, We saw 1907 dignified Seniors. (Were there as many as that, you ask. My prompt reply, unfortunately, no, only 80.) These eighty fine and splendid forms of life To us were stars serene that dwelt apart. They knew us not by name, nor seemed to see; But when one smiled, a Freshman trod on air. The play they had to us seemed marvellous (Seemed, madam? Was. We but think seemed, since then) ; So, in return we gave vent to sweet song, And poured our grateful feehngs on the air. Our Juniors had not entered on our ken; We thought we praised the highest thing in sight, And pleased with what we ' d done, were much distressed To find due etiquette had been o ' erlooked. C3
