The White House is Robert’s castle, where He reigns in solemn state, And plans for the good of the country From early morn’ till late. His days are e’en more ‘‘strenuous” than Those that the people spend Who attempt to try all thing in life And seek no certain end. Our George is a gay young millionaire And lives in splendid style, And Dame Fortune always beams on him With her benignant smile. He has earned his vast amount of gold By his persistent ‘‘push,” For no obstacle has had the power This brave young man to crush. Although Miriam plans air castles, she Can plan real castles, too, For an architect of greater skill Our country never knew. My own castle firm foundations lack, And soon they all must fall, So their forms or their construction I Will not describe at all. Although none of us may e’er possess The castles that we build, We shall always be contented If oui duty’s been fulfilled. And whate’er we he, we’ll always strive To be sinceie and true, ijo that we may all be worthy of The “orange and the blue. So all hail the colors of 05, And hail the llower, too, The carnation, queen of all the flow’rs That mortal ever knew.

OUR CASTLES IN SPAIN (A Prophecy) COMMENCEMENT NIGHT, MAY 24. OUR castles in Spain are surrounded With shining walls of hope. We see them by sunlight or starlight Thro’ Fancy’s telescope. Of various shapes arc our castles, We build them high or low; As daily our minds become broader, Our castles also grow. Since kindly the Fates have given me A lens of special power, The cattles of my classmates I can see at any hour. Around Alfred's cattle all i- still, The very birds are mute. For from out the castle hall there comes The sound of sweetest flute. The enchanting music brings the thought Of Orpheus and his lyre; Who tradition says by playing could The stones to speech inspire. In lair Jessie’s castle I can see The singers of renown. On the “Nightingale” of dear '05 Hath Fame bestowed her crown. She’s a second Madame Patti, and She makes her greatest hit In the piece entitled “Lena,’’ which Has words arranged to it. In his castle garden Ernest strolls Beneath the leafy trees; For the great composer loves to hear The songs 01 birds and bees. lie has studied hard in Heidelberg, And now he’s known to fame For his splendid overtures, which are Too numerous to name. On long shelves in Xishot's castle, there Are powders, salves and pills, For our classmate is. a pharmacist And cures all human ills. 23
