6 THE BROWN Young is a husky to meet in a light And to look at Rial you might die of fright. But lest you want Truxal to use his silk gloves Better be wary and take flight with the doves To that beautiful region where Carothers belongs, Vlfhcre Beauty Cope dances and sings his bright songs And Buster Brown with a XVinchester make Goes hunting musk rats at the dawn of daybreak. NVe have many others of equal repute Such as Mac and Bunger who plays on the Hute And girls that are daisies when it comes down to looks. The kind that you read of in art picture books. They're not only pretty, but know all the arts From teasing the -Iuniors to baking cream tarts. I dare not and would not, whatever I do, Mention the names of certain ones to you VVho have proved in the past, when ranks started late That they were too awkward to stand up straight. AND NVH ITE And others who have fallen down the stair case In attempting to gain their usual place. Others there are who have a dozen beans Some who might have one,-goodness only knows. 'Twould seem there are those who have become famed Even the carriage ordered and the preacher named But it's only natural. as Abe Martin said That some one or other should go clear off his head But if you don't believe him, you at least will try To keep before you the days now just gone bv.- So let The memories of dear old Gold and Blue Be a pleasant afterthought for me and you.- Let us give to fourteen a long and hearty cheer For the days that to us were so gladsome and dear- .Xnd now I will tell you as onward they pass l'he merits of each one in this wonderful class.

Down in the river the ships at their mooring swayed like living things, resting after their hard day's work. A gust of wind whirled up the street, picked up a discarded evening paper of some ancient date and hustled it along till its course was suddenly obstructed by a pair of legs. The owner had a face which gave one the im- pression of having at one time been strong but now wore a tired and listless expression. His clothes now tattered has probably been made by some high class tailor. He picked up the paper and glanced over it. Suddenly, a gleam of interest came into his eye, a smile lit up his features and he sat gazing across the river as though seeing there things which he had known in his better days. He glanced again at the paper and his eye was directed toward a notice, written in old English used fifteen or twenty years ago, which read as follows : Notice. There will be a reunion of the members of the class of nineteen fourteen of the Greens- burg. Pennsylvania, High School, in Caroth- er's hall on Friday evening at eight o'clock. Any member seeing this notice please come and inform any others you know. Squire J. Q. Truxal.

THE TALE OF 1914 Give ear my comrades to the tale that l tell!- How I remember it easy and well.

You'll agree, there are found wherever yotl go From distant Brazil to .Xntarctic snow Some who are able in one special thing, Some who can fiddle and some who can sing.
