Treasurer-Bruce Lusk. 49 Uhr imlinatrrlh Eng BY ALISON LISTER Come Freshman fair, and Sophomores strong And jolly juniors too, And list to the aged minstrel song,- A story quaint and true. He sings of deeds of long ago, Three cycles i'n all have fied Since many things happened, strange to tell But the eons have happily sped. Old Cornell's trees were yellow, and bright VVith the sunlight sifting through, The chapel lifted it's tall grey tower When the yellow and grey were new. And the loyal band that feasted twice, At Bowman Hall and again, VVas famous because of its maidens nice, And its strong and rugged men. Many a sacrifice laid they down For the sake of their glorious classg One, of his raven locks was shorn Where the waters How, alas! YVhen two cycles more had passed, And a temple was to be raised To the God of Strength and Beauty of Form, The people were all amazed. For the noble band of the grey and corn Came valiently to the fore, And brought forth a scheme, the coffers to Hll, As they called for more and more. A celebration great was planned, The wonders of the County Fair were sung As the people flocked from far and near To wander the shows among. And all united in songs of praise, Landing the gallant band VVho had carried through to the gallant end And affair so brilliantly planned. Now another cycle has gone The band is hoary with ageg But once they paused on the upward way' To return to childhood's page. The fourth cycle is flying fast And when its race is run, None will be left of the glorious class, No, not a single one. But their spirits still will haunt the hill, VVhere the winter breezes play, And their yellow and grey shall forever be The theme of the minstrel's lay. Sevcnleen
