THE WAR OF THE JUVENILES. HTHE WM OFtTHE JUYENILES - “ Let dogs delight to bark and bite, But little children should n’t fight. -------- A Freshman’s cares arc numerous enough, With Greek six times a week, and Latin too. With English,—execrable, useless stuff!— Those recitations luckily are few; And Freshmen have enough to make them blue, Without the brutal pranks that Sophomores play To cause them anguish, and to make them rue With imprecations bad, the hateful day They left their parents’ dwelling, and their infant play. The class of Eighty-Two, with such humane And generous sentiments as these inspired, By no rude jokes increased the Freshman’s pain, No sinister celebrity acquired For hazing done; they entered and retired, Their Sophomore duties o’er, without a stain. By this kind treatment Eighty-Three were fired To boast of mighty prowess, and were fain The old prestige of hazing to revive again.

For Sophomore appetites are ever keen for beer.’’ Many fell schemes these savage Mu Mus laid To capture all alone some luckless wiglit, And many a time, like hungry nighthnwks stayed Hovering around the halls till late at night, Lurking among the trees in all tlioir might,— And couching, like wild beasts, in secret lairs, At last a hapless wretch alone they sight, And pounce upon their quarry unawares, Then, lead him to the beach, regardless of his prayers. ■ sp ’.j; ' 'i . -------------i! «9
