'mn CEDAR OF TWENTY SEVEN -jJffi-fp.-S LOREN TOOGOOD Oddly bedight A lengthy wight Sat down at Sunday table. YVith fork in hand He straight began To eat as he was able. His coming there XVith unkempt hair His folks to ask did tempt: Supposing you The whole day thru XVent shamelessly unkempt? YVithout reply He fixed his eye Upon the well-earned praise, XVhen he should stand In all the land Unbrushed for the most days. For sixty hours He braved all powers, And touched not comb unto it. Oh, Toogood, we Can scarcely see How managed you to do it. But then at length Foiled was his strength By circumstance, good reader. Though heart did ache, 'Twas combed to take His picture for The Cedar. And now we should To bold Toogood Give praise and our concurrence, That we declare For unkempt hair His record for endurance. THE CLASSIC HOUR There's a languid glaze on the student's eye, At three o'clock in the seventh hour, As the clock jerks the minutes slowly by. Eliza yawns at Dido's cry, As she approaches the funeral hour There's a languid glaze on the student's eye. Tom Powell attempts to catch a fly, Is censured by Miss Schmermund's glower As the clock jerks the minutes slowly by. VVestin heaves a gusty sigh, As Marion puts on stuff like Hour There's a languid glaze on the student's eye. Harold makes the pages noisily Hy, And stalls for time, and hopes for power As the clock jerks the minutes slowly by. VVhen john makes a desperate alibi, Some of us laugh and some look sour, There's a languid glaze on the student's eye, As the clock jerks the minutes slowly by. IF VVIT VVER NEEDED - Across the Parks, Hallman knew Jamey Peterson and William: Kelly were looking For dyce. This was a crime.

VVe must hurry, called Mr. Hallman, For although I can still hear the White Cork crow Heisey, De Noon will soon be here. So they Rudd lsound- ing their Horn as they passed the Hink housel till they came in sight of the Doughty wretches. The culprits were sternly lead back to school with the aid of certain Millers and Thanners of the city. judges Pufuuell and Travis passed on the case and the boys were sentenced to three hours in the library-where they got what they wanted.
