As the backs go tearing by, On the way to do or die; Many sighs, many tears, Mingled with the happy cheers, As the backs go tearing by, Making gain on steady gain, As swells the sweet refrain: Eastern’s bound to win to-day! Eastern’s sure to win to-day! As the backs go tearing by.

RE HEAD R 1914 : “WAN ODE TO A SENIOR.” | There is a Senior stern and tall, who sets the fashions for the fall. Of a green suit he is the owner, and on no : nditions will he loan her. Of ties he fe Jimit; if there's a new shade, he'll pee Orange with his suit of green, is quite often to be seen; sometimes blue of gorgeous hue. His feet are mon- strous large, oft mistaken for a barge, floating down the stream. He bangs the piano, [am told, with fingers strong and bold. One day a key came off, they and then with lessened vigor he begin it. say, did play. e: Not only is he a musician, but also an expert “appetician,” for to the punch- bow! oftimes he’s stole and drunk ‘most cight pints, so I'm told. Likewise, “dog- sandwiches” are his chotce, and he has eaten such a horde that he has entirely ruined his voice. And all, too, of his own accord. Sad is my tale of woe, I hope it 1s not so, but I fear it is accord- ing to the tale. One thing I forgot (louder goes the wail). It is the ques- tion of his socks. Their colors he does carefully choose, emeralds, topaz, pinks | and blues. At color schemes he is the} latest word. It’s plain to be seen that he’s “some bird.” “FOLLIES OF THE FRESHMEN.” | When the funny frivolous Freshmen | found the faculty fair at Eastern, their fleeting footsteps forward flew. Then) for full favor they fought fiercely, fear- ing lest from fright to fail. Finally, fear from them fled, and we find a few full of fiery flippancy floating on the filmy flakes of foolishness. . | Fair followers of flowery phrases, fall not through frankness or foul feats. Fortunately, fakes, forsoothe are fullly out of fashion. eens “LIBRARY NOTES.” The only thing that Miss Boyd omit- ted in her preparation for the Fresh- men, was a sign over the door, entitled “Welcome to Our Happy Home.” She really had the “home” spirit in mind when she ordered the new green covers for the library tables. The color is unmistakably green and of a hue pe- culiar to Freshmen. The Freshmen of last year received no such welcome, but had to sit at the tables and lose pens, Papers, erasers, etc, under the ragged edges of the felt while trying to fasten attention on Latin and other classical stuff. Also, for your convenience she has a clock. Now this clock is “like unto no other in the land.” If you will watch it carefully, you will notice that it has a system of striking the hours all of its own, and it cannot he persuaded or commanded to do otherwise. Miss Boyd has tried to explain to it that a well behaved clock should act like a gen- tleman and not be so provoking. One of its tricks is to strike any number on any hour whatever. For instance, at four o'clock it will strike nine, and at twelye o'clock it will strike two. As Miss Boyd says, “If it is nine at four o'clock, and two at twelve o'clock, what will it be at half-past two?” Miss Boyd seems to be partial to that clock, for she spends the most of her time on a ladder, pleading with it to act sensibly. One would think that the clock would repent and do better, be- cause every day it sees unruly boys sent up to the office. We wonder if Mr. Kimble meant to insinuate anything when he said that the Eastern team had no “Steeds.” SPS SE hn) eee ees Scare Number One ee ee | WHO'S WHO AND WHO ISN’T. M.

There were thirty students to offer their services to prospects for a the school, and among these were only three veterans. Many of the most prom- ising new men were found to be inmates of the “Hospital for Intellectual Crip- ples.” However, as those that were left have proved very capable, we may look for rattling good games against “Tech” iT tit. ie i! 4 aa Mh ol Da and Western.
