ttWad Sae Gift the Giftie Gie Usll ,Twas a fancy came upon me Not so very long ago, I was sitting tfore the fireside When the embers had burned low. And it seemed I saw a banquet. Spread with all the finest care, And the strangest thing about it was Our teachers all were there. They were talking of the Classes That had come and gone at East, And they all gave their opinions, Ditlnlt hide them in the least. But when they came to our Class, Mr. Peoples gave a sigh, And Mr. Surtln. near him, Wiped a tear from out his eye. ttThnugh hard I may have seemed then Giving marks to every boy, Mr. Lyon, would you believe ittte Why those basses were a joy! ,COLII'SC, we had misunderstandings, They explained those after school, And I had to tell them frankly That they must obey my rule? Cried Miss Aldrich then, nI knew them, Yes, I liked them, every one, And they all loved eloeutinn. tttlntleed, I thought, ttlike funl l tt ,Tis true,N spoke up Miss Strate, tHTwas a mystery then to me. Though geology was trying, They were stars in tstrnnmuy? ttAhemf said Mr. Reuter, uI have something to say here, Didtft they make three and twenty A real bright red letter year? Champs they were that year in football, Basketball, and swimming, too; If wetd had all years like that one, Other schools would sure be blue. SO they gossiped thus all evening, Named the members of the. class, IVondered at our shining smartness, Pitied us who scarce could pass. How they laughed when they remembered Things George Steward used to say. And the Clever way Fred Johnson Aetetl in the Christmas play! Oh, they said a lot of nice things That would till a large-sized book, Things which proved to me that teachers Are heaps nicer than they look. I saw Mr. Lynn rise, then, With a toast to twenty-three, But the last flame in the grate died, Leaving night and dreams to me. DOROTH Y B U RIL 74
