One failed in algebra, then there were nine. Of nine heedless sophomores, careless of their fate, One didn't come to school, then there were eight. Eight giggling sophomores sat in room eleven, One let himself get caught, then there were seven. Seven smiling sophomores got into a hx, One failed to clear himself, then there were six. Six pouting sophomores didn't care to strive, One just gave up work, then there were live. Five laughing sophomores, studying old lore, One ran far away, leaving only four. Four serious sophomores now in school we see, One studied Latin,-they are now reduced to three. Three singing sophomores, sang of sparkling dew, One made a discord, now we hear but two. Two sad sophomores, never would' have fun, One found he couldn't pass, then there was one. One little sophomore, with much work not yet done, Gave up trying in despair, so now there is none, Forty-three TO SCHOOL.

Those who were fond of astronomy spent one hour or so observ- ing the Stella-r regions. Others were telling stories. In an out-of-the- way corner, Harold was reading, but every once in awhile he would Ruth-lessly pull to pieces some marguerites which had been given to him by Patra. Lucille was watching him and was smilingg but he did not pay any attention to her or anyone else. He would read a Page, then he would tear a Elowerg but the pages seemed to be longer and longer, so. he soon grew tired of reading and went to Find Patra. A part of the evening's entertainment was some Moor-ish dancing. After this music floated to the ears of those on deck and many went downstairs where some danced and others sat around and watched. While dancing Hiram teased Wilma about wearing a dress that was worn in King Edward-'s timeg but she retorted that his suit was worn in Frank-lin's time. Willie asked Dominick if he remembered Hopkins' store near their old school. You bet I do, he answered. I remember that one day I had bought my 'King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table' there, and then as soon as I got out I dropped it in the mudf' Walter, happening to pass by, asked them if they remembered Palmer Park er-e the swimming tank and the gym were thereg but Dick said that his memory did not extend that far back, although he did remember when Thomas used to play for their dances. The playing had stopped and Arthur passing by said that he wished they all would have a peaceful night and that all would wake up to find a beautiful sunny morn, for the following day was Fourth of july. ' They all gave three cheers and then retired. F arty-two
