walked away, and after Jones left I told father what I had done. Although he was angry, it amused him very much and Jones was never the wiser for the trick played upon him. Whenever I think of that ride, although it was forty years ago, I recall what a funny position old Farmer Jones was in. STELLA BECK, 1910. V Wt)c Jfreslmian There sits a young Freshman with paper and pen, Both talking and writing as fast as he can. No one in the school room has more to say Of the various things that have happened that day. The lesson’s no sooner assigned to the class, Than up comes his hand, and the teacher he’ll ask, “Please, teacher, the lesson I did not quite hear, I was thinking of what things might happen next year.” The teacher will answer, “Page one and page two, When you are a Sophomore you’ll watch what we do.” At all the long questions he’ll scornfully look, Then find the short answer in his Algebra Book. And many a noon he has joyously passed, In telling the things he would do at the last. “Good games of clean football I surely shall play, You’ll find me a hero in brave deeds some day.” The time was approaching, the end of the year, The “exams” were fast coming, his one greatest fear. In his hand was forced something—he found it a note, One which a wise Junior in kindliness wrote. “O Freshman, raw Freshman, d’you know where you’re at? I hate to see people so full of their chat. ’Tis those who say little that do their work best, As you will soon learn when you come to the test.” JOSEPH BERNSTEIN, 1911. 127
