SO THE GIRTONIAN Abigail Von Schlegell PROSECUTOR-It seems 'twere but a month ago That Abby joined our class, So happy has she made us all, That merry, littleC?D lass, Her laughter, cleverness and Wit Add much to Girton School, And tho not good, yet she's not bad, And ne'er would break a rule. She really does not study much- She likes good times the best, And as for teas and balls and such She there can stand the test. And so along the old North Shore Good times she,ll make complete, And add to parties and to balls By her own presence sweet. Dorcus Orme Hoge The PRosEcUToR says: The When Dorcas had scarce passed her third glad year And her young artless words began to How, Her parents gave the child a mem'ry book, Her own, wherein she might go paste and show By note or trophy all her daily life. She pasted each hour's deeds-old fancies fond, And laughed and prattled o'er her memlry Book. And when she turned her steady learned eye To Girton-then she raised a joyous cry- For here were trophies new for those who seek, And so she purchased Girton lVlem'ry Books, And showed them to her friends who came to call JUDGE replies: Since you to memlry sacred vows have made, And nevermore your past life would forget,
