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.

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!

THE FRESHMAN PARTY. The Freshmen gave a party, Not many moons agog The air was clear and frosty, The ground was white with snow. A week or more of planning, Of how, and when, and whereg Class meetings, whisperings, buzzings Excitement everywhere. At last the plans were made, And Paul would be our hostg Ambrose would be our hostler- His nags could pull the most. Our President appointed Six girls who could agree, ' On the entertainment committee- VVe must have games, you see. Elizabeth and Cecil, Then Carma and Ileene, Ethel and Florence Bratten, VVere the ones, and well they plan. Our dear old Alma Mater VVas the place where we should wait For the arrival of our teamster, XVho came a little late. It was a jolly crowd That filled the sled that nightg Although packed in like sardines, For all 'twas great delight. W'e soon were at the door, The journey seemed so short, And e're long the entire house VVas ringing with our sport.
