Page One Hun'drcd and THE BLUE AND GOLD BOB FLETCHER To a Football Player who has broken training LApologies to Burns! Big, huskie, f1ghtin', fierce ee'd brutie, Oh what an effort to do thy dutie! Thou needs must drag ae pipe sae sooty An' breek ae rule! I wad be laith t' treat sae wrangly, Sac gude ae school! I doubt na, whyles, but thou n1ay chew Ae hunk o' plug. 'Tis nae thing new Amang ye brutes. But l'll tell you Th' result is bad! Gie a glimp at yon nicotine hounds! I ken ae fagg bye gadl Thou know'st, as how, one week's the game Wid Toonerville-hence lies our fame! But ye, poor boobie, wid Cranium lame, 's a-breakin! trainin'! Can ye na' staches thru a bit 0' waitin'? Gitl yere honor's fadin'. Such is the fate o' simple coach Wen the trials o' trainin' are broke an' broached Tho weel I ken the dang stuff's poached. ' They knew their onions Gie me ae mon wha' abeys the rules, God bless his bunions! -JOE MALLOY, '23 THE FOOTBALL GIRL Eyes that are clear as the sparkling air When the frost-sprinkled forests flame, Cheeks all aglow with the daintiest red, VVind-tossed hair round a graceful head, Bonny and blithesotne beyond compare- Hail to the Queen of the Game! There are courage and hope in her eyes so brown, As she raises the blue and gold flag high, And winning or losing, till all is done, She is true to her colors and cheers them on, VVith the blue and gold in her gown- Fair symbol of loyalty. There is much that is dear in the victor's prize- Honor, applause, and fame, But when the strife ends in a victory, The first and the best which the winners see Is a swift flashing signal from Beauty's eyes- A smile from the Queen of the Game. Then hcre's to the maid who begins her reign When the dead leaves race and whirl, Hearty and loud is the praise I bring, For fairest of all is the maid I sing So fill up your glasses and pledge again A toast to the Football Girl! -GENEVA S Sixteen ORENSON

THE BLUE AND GOLD TO THE ADVERTISERS VVe wish to take this space in which to thank most sincerely those people who have inserted advertisements in this Annual. VVe owe much of the success of this Blue and Gold edition to their kindness and cooperation. It is our hope and belief that mutual satisfaction will arise from this year's ads-that after all, the advertisers have killed two birds with one stone, having patronized the Annual as well as very effectively advertised their goods. Thank you, again! BLUE AND GOLD CONTRIBUTORS XVe wish to take this opportunity to thank those people who have contributed their literary and artistic talent to this Blue and Gold. The editors have met with a hearty response when they have asked for material of any kind and a good deal of this Blue and Gold was contributed voluntarily. XVe realize that heretofore many contributors to this Annual have not received their full share of credit for work done and in order to right matters in this respect and also to stimulate interest in this project a page has been devoted exclusively to the honorable mention of those who have contributed to the success of this Annual. XVe desire again to thank these people and wish them success in their future literary or artistic undertaking. THE VALUE OF A SMILE There is a something in a smile that no real man can condemn, And it is looked upon with happiness by all types of men. - If you are feeling happy, and you want the world to know it, There is nothing on this earth like a big, broad smile to show it. Now, if you're hurt or disappointed with something in this life, There is nothing like a happy smile to set your heart aright. If you have wronged a person, and are in fear of all mankind, There is nothing like a helpful smile to strengthen up your mind. From the time you're an infant until you're feeble, old and gray, There is nothing that should be able to steal a smile away. -PAULINE CARPENTER. SENIOR PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE tfontinued from Page Twenty-tivcb spirit of cooperation that no incident during our four years of high school limit our praise and love of our instructors, which love, will be an inspiration during the remaining years of our lives.
