Li . .-, H 1 lrf' ' Tf.T F 7 aug-ul 5. The Rime of the Serious Senior It is an awe-inspiring tale, And he stoppeth one of the three. By thy long white pants and sweater Now wherefore stopp'st thou me? The College doors are opened wide, And we're the next ones ing The Sophs are met, the day is set, May'st hear the merry din. He holds him with his skinny hand, There is a Hag, quoth Zeek. Hold off! unhand me, lubberly Soph! He slipped it on to Beek. Crib holds them with his glittering eye, The Sophomores stand still, And listen like a three years' child 5 The Freshmen have their will. of red, Townsmen got skeered, the Gym was rearedg Merrily did we soar, ' Beyond the Green, beyond this scene, To the ranks of Sophomore. The girls moved into the Women's Hall, Sweet as peaches are they, Stepping so lightly as they go, A merry compagnie. And now the Normal game, and it Was terrible and fine, Little Jeff tackled with deadly aim, And gloriously spilled dat shine. When winter wind did roar more loud, Then Hooker began to rant, And smoke poured down in one black cloud From our new Heating Plant. Now we had done a brilliant thing, And we had worked it well, It was enuf, we'd worked the bluff, And as Juniors cut a swell. Academy gone, a new era was on, And money did freely fall, We were the first that ever burst Into that Science Hall. ' This Junior band, each triedrhis hand, Making an Allah-Rah, Yoricke posed as Editor, Such a book you never saw. Amid our groans, we shelled out five bones, To give the Seniors a feed, In cutaway coats and satin gowns, With the Grand March, led by Reed. 'Till June we iquietly sailed on, And never a care had we, ' Slowly and smoothly went our ship, Moving on to Dignity. One night we woke midst shouts of fright, We saw a ghastly sight, The fire was here, the Hame was there, The smoke was all around, It cracked and growled, roared and howled, When Stuart Hall went down. Lewis and Esther, with blissful love, Are lost to the world in their dream of joy, While Myrtle and Fannie, Ham and Pere, Have gone on the stage for better or worse, And Ed and Crooksie, Keys and Loy, Are charming the maids of the Harvey House. And now there came a day and hour, When we donned cap and gown, The school paid homage to our class All with their heads bowed down. Farewell, farewell! but this I tell, Our Alma Mater, to thee! He liveth well who loveth well The precepts of C. of E. E. fWith no apologies to Coleridgel. , -V. F.-E. Page 27
