Ever hear tell of Brady, The man of wide Qi. e., in girthj renown? I-Ie's here at school 'most every day, But when he 's out of town. II.. He lives out at the city line, A place they call Black Rock, A finer place was never seen, CA fine place for a dock.j III. The steamers on the river Can be seen there from the shoreg While the Rock ferry carries people To old Fort Erie no more. IV. The place has lost its prestige- The Rock has lost its fame- And were it not for Buffalo, 'Twould be without a name. ' 1 V. The people there are sleepy, 'Tis Sleepy I-Iollow, forsoothg Oh! for the pen of Irving, To help me picture the truth. . VI. More Ichabods, as yet unknown, More spooks to chase you roun More weeping willows sobbing, O'er Old Black Rock's mound A word of advice from a fellow-student who has spent two years in the philosophy class may not be amiss at this opportune time, and, we hope it will be accepted in the same generous spirit in which it is given. I would advise. the Juniors of '08 to brace up, take courage, throw off that underdog spirit, fight your own way forward. Don't tell us everyone is down on you. We all know you deserve it. ,You look it. Moreover, during vacation don 't try to acquire the few laxities you haven 't got already. Remember you are all young gentlemen, only goats butt in. Above all, avoid Gheektowaga, also Black Rock. You are too slow now. If it is your misfortune to reside in those places, visit the city often. Get in good condition for next year.. Brush up your Latin. You will need it all. Don 't get stale, you are bad enough now. Early rising during vacation will enable you to get to college before class commences. 'Otherwise your conduct' will corrupt the Seniors. Lastly, to escape a bad case of Paranoia, always strive to keep in mind that you are only Juniors. , 26
