THE EMERSONIAN 27 Ye Tale of the 1915 Pilgrims (With Apologies to Chaucer) When that Commencement with its teas and dances, Had given maids their last glimpse of romances; And saddened every heart with tears and sighs, (For there is something bitter in “good-byes”) — When inspiration blew with her sweet-e breath-e, Inspiring many a heart with visions great-e, The Senior maidens, now with charms endow-ed; And all the bearing which their years allow-ed, Were given sheep-skins as a goode reward-e; A gift they welcomed each with one accord-e. When admired sages from the Faculty-e, Had giv’n advice on that which they fore-see-e, Then calleth fame — in distance very small-e, For inspiration answers many futile call-es! And maidens for to seek-e fame and art-e, Must travel far their knowledge to impart-e. Bifel that in that season on a day, At Emersonian College where we lay, Ready to wander on our pilgrimage, With heart-es strong, and full devout courag-e, A maid spoke up with smile and wisely said-e, That Senior pilgrims might seek art together! That each upon a horse might gayly ride-e, And each with friends arrayed on either side-e, And each might pass away the tyme-e, By adapting Evolution verse to Senior rhyme-e. And so upon that great Commencement Day, The Seniors all made plans to ride away; And just as Phoebus rose high in the sky-e, The Faculty and students came to bid “good-by-e,” And when the last farewells at length were said-e, They journeyed forth in fellowship together. Methinketh it accordant to reason To tell you about the position of each of them, Just as it seemed to me, — the verse they wrote and of what degree, Pardon for the jest that they are in-ne, At Helen Baxter I will first begin-ne.

Baxter, AA4 124 Morgantown Street, Uniontown, Pennsylvania Parties and fancy balls, And one clear call for me; And yet there are no zeroes or bad marks, When I put out to see! C. Evelyn Benjamin, Marshfield, Vermont Secretary of Y. W. C. A., ’14 Vice-President of Y. W. C. A., ’15 Little thinks, in the school, Miss Ben- jamin, Of the work in secret thou hast done! Nor knowest thou what sentiment To Christian meetings thou hast lent.
