26 THE EMERSONIAN When will we meet Jim’s smile, when we Would elevate or sub? When play again with George’s cat Or join chapel hubbub? How can we do these things, and still Be jobbing? — there’s the rub! The time has come to talk good-byes, And trunks and trips at last For oh ! the day of play has went — - At least is going fast! But with us, always, you will stay, Dear memories — of the past. M. F. D., ’23. Bon voyage, Seniors. Take with you our love; Hold aspiration high; you cannot fail; And as you lead we follow close behind, Proud to have called you friends but for a while In this, our Spring of Life. And faith leaps strong That some day in the Book of Time we’ll read Your deeds in gold upon the fairest page. The sands run fast — time here is short — Adieu ! A. N. D., ’24.

THE EMERSONIAN 25 SENIORS’ FAREWELL “The time has come,” the Prexy said, “To speak of many jobs, From Hong Kong to Jamaica Plains For teachers, stars, and mobs; For teachers of the Spoken Art, Tall, short, fair, dark, and ‘bobs’.” They trotted in from Kenney’s “Tech;” They sprinted up the stair From “Hist, of Ed.” and Trippie’s “Imp. ” To get each one her share — They flocked to that keen call of jobs, The Seniors, plump and spare. The time has come indeed, they thought, (If so, they spake it not), When we must step forth from these halls Which we so long have sought, And forth to trips by trains or ships Or trolleys, we must trot. But oh, to leave this sounding hall Means leaving all that’s in it! Rehearsals, oh! and chapel cuts! Recitals every minute ! And teachers fond! and Juniors, Sophs, And Freshies, all within it! We’ve ate with them their apple pies, We’ve shared the Greasy Spoon ; With them we ran to Hood’s for lunch When class came not too soon; With them we rose at eight-thirteen, To eat the breakfast prune!

THE EMERSONIAN 27 SENIOR CLASS PLAY “SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER” By Oliver Goldsmith The presentation of Goldsmith’s “She Stoops To Conquer” by the Senior class on Thursday evening, January 25, in Huntington Cham- bers’ Hall marked the fourteenth annual production of Old English Comedy. Produced, as it was, under the direction of Professor Tripp, the play was most artistically presented to an unusually large audience, showing that enthusiasm for old English comedy has not waned, and that its revival is a welcome innovation.

Oh you we have tried and found so true, Pals of these years, out yonder, In success and strife we will dream of you, — Will you think of us, and wonder? M. F. D., ’23.
