THE BOYS. QXVith Apologies to O. XV. Holmesj Has there any old fellow got mixed with the scholars? If there has, take him out without making a holler. Hang the Almanac's cheat and the Catalogue's spite! Old Time is a liar! XVe're Freshmen tonight! lVe're Freshmen! XVe'll own it! XVe'll shout it all o'er! No class was e'er more proud of that name before! There was Wfillie, our president, he still claims the name, And is honored by nations, which adds to our fame, XVhile Florence read the minutes, you could tell by her looks It was Raymond she thought of, and not of her books. Xlihile Leonard on one farm, and Oscar the next Studied agriculture from experience and text. lVhen Fanny and Butch, each evening at eight Entertained their guests with tables and dates, Claire the studious, wore out his eyes, To be praised by the teachers up to the skies. Vasco as Jeff, and Gervase as Mutt On the stage make their fortunes and live in a hut. lVhile Cecil as Hippo and Ileene as Skeeter Rival their play in another theatre. ' Out in Montana on a wild and bleak plain, jay and Thelma have now taken a claim. They live in a cottage with vines covered o'er, Nlfhile VVe1come we see on the mat at the door. lVhen Russel and Louden were playing in school, XVC thought they were merely breaking a rule. But now as great masters expounding the law, XVC know they prepared for it when them we first saw. Magel, with her pretty angelical look, Made Burton believe that she was some cook. And Royal, the innocent, thought it was true, So he took her right ing a good joke it was, too!

their new resolutions from the previous day. The Literature class was called and Verna Gabriel, in her hurry to get to class, forgot her text, Willem asked why she did not bring it, in answering she made a slight error in her gram- mar. Its being noticed by a small portion of the class caused her much worry. After the class was dismissed, she was seen writing, correctly, her answer to the instructor. ln the farther corner of the assembly room Hazel Poorman sat, studying alone, with a large Geography on her desk. During this period Frank Haddix was conducting a class in Algebra. He stood at the front of the room, look- ing very stern, while, at the board, six brilliant pupils were working at their special assignments. Not a whisper could be heard in the room. The school was then dismissed by the principal, and each Senior marched to the rank, keeping step with the music as never before. After leaving the building, they persuaded the remainder of the school to march in order to the end of the school ground. And thus my mysterious dream ended. ANON.

NVhen Carina and Paul at school were attending, VVe little thought of their life 'work as blending. Now Paul is Professor of a medical collegeg Carma as nurse assists him with her knowledge. Hazel as seamstress sits all day and sews, And to each new comer she tells all the newsg How Ambrose and Ethel in a new motor ear East and VVest, North and South are traveling far. Out on a farm, amid sunshine and rain, Charles helps Franklin with both hands and brain. And Florence with her curls pinned high on her head, Keeps busy with churning and baking the bread. Yes, we're Freshmen, and though we are scattered so far, VVe are guided, each one by the selfsame star! This star, the days spent in Edgerton High, Is the brightest of all the days yet gone by. And when the time does come to call the roll, Let us hope that each one of us has reached the goalg The goal that we set when we still were young, And started for, when the school bell was rung.
