CLASS SONG Near the Wissahickon's waters, 'Neath a sky of blue, Stands our dear old Alma Mater Cherished spot to view. CHORUS. Hoist the colors, wave them proudly, Red and black and blue, Pledged in loudest acclamation, Hands and hearts so true. In the ivy-clad old building, 'Neath the belfry grey, The Class of Nineteen Six has gathered True to old G. A.-Chorus. Nowehthe time has come for parting, Know we but one aim, To crown with glory, fame and honor, Alma Mater's name.-Chorus. JOSE-PH KUEHNLE. J. RAYMOND PECK CM-3

BANJO CLUB One of-the most successful organizations of the school this year has been the Banjo Club. Our illustrious leader, W. W. Keefer, secured one of the best instructors in the city, Mr. P-aul Eno. He taught the club every Wednesday afternoon during the year. About the middle of the year it was thought that a drum would be of advantage to the club, so one was secured, and it has proved to be a val- uable addition. The club owes its success chiefly to the untiring efforts of our faithful leaders, Messrs. Keefer and Eno. It kept several engagements during the year with great success, having learned and played the following pieces: My Hindoo Man, S0rella, Feather Queen, Silver Heels, Kalo0la, Bright Eyes, se- lections from It Happened in Nordlandf' Moonlight, Shy Anne, Cheyenne, and Indian Patrol.
