S4 THE GIRTONIAN Rhoda Hecht Coming up the narrow pathway to the dais moves then Rhoda, Small is she with eyes that ever shine with brown lights on her comrades, Speaks the Genius at her coming with a smile of friendly greeting: '4Welcome here, O, best-loved Rhodaf, Then she tells unto the Judges how her head is full of learning, How she plays upon the banjo, how she does with skill her hemmingg- Much astounded at her wisdom, overcome by joyous wonder, Faculty withdraws his charges. Speak the Judges all together, 'mid a burst of eager cheering, Like unto the noisy tumult when vacation day an- nounced is, Verdict give: O, worthy Rhoda, yours to hasten with your efforts, And your husband, Woman Suffrage! Julie Murray Forrest Now thro the crowding Shadows There comes a stalwart form, A thrilling whisper runs before Like waves before a storm. Hist, Julie, Captain Forrest, The girl who won the game! But keep it low, for don't you know, She's awfully shy of fame. And now the Judges from their seats VVith eager faces rise, They grasp her hand, while tears of joy Rain forth from out their eyes.
