VS nplrninnxe aah 7 xmslxmsm tfllaas US angs- SOPHOMORE CLASS SONG. TUZVE-dlllosguito Parade. The wonderful class of 1908 Is always ready and wide awake, he bri htest class in old I C T g . , None are so clever and gay as We. All the classes envy us, All of them must look up to us, Even Juniors, who have been Unruly children, heard not seen. Dear little kids of IQOQ, Alma Mater should use her pine, FRESHMAN CLASS SONG. I. The Seniors think that they have lots of trouble, And talk about Commencement that comes in June, The juniors were complaining last December Because their recital was coming very soon. .Even Sophomores are not exempt from worry, For their play will come some time in May 5 But these cannot be thought of with the Freshmen, Who have their little troubles every day. ' It is no use, We can't get loose. From the good Book you oft have read That the child is spoiled if the rod is spared. Hurrah I for the class of 1908, Hurrah I for the colors red and black, May our fame ever shine Over the heads of 1909. The Illustrious Twelve we surely are, Known to all both near and far. And if you've ne'er heard of 1908 You surely are not up-to-date. TUNE- All Coons Look Alike io life. Faculty are quite bowed down with trouble, 2. The And complain about the rules they have to make 3 Say they're bothered half to death because the students Seem to think that rules are only made to break. But when made these rules are sure to last a life time, To break them all a student wouldn't dare, So it's clear that all these worries of instructors With a Freshman's simply can't compare. It is no use, We can't get loose. CHORUS : All days are alike to us, Filled up with Algebra, History and Gym., VVorst of all we must write essays, We simply can't get rid of them. On Sunday if we take a We' re sure to hear with rest, strong protest : just hand two in on Monday, All days are alike to us. -109

Bryn Mawr, taking the required course in a year less than the ordinary student, although her' previous intentions after grad- uating were to teach, after again meeting the one whom we have before mentioned, and who has completed his course, she will decide after thoughtful consideration to become his helpmate in ministering to the people. 11361611 '3l011Q500I'f HELEN is a light-haired, unassuming maiden who hails from a small village in the heart of the beautiful Cumberland Valley. Of her past I havevery little to tell, She entered Irving in 1902, after spending several years in the Centerville High School. But now to her future : After graduating at Irving she will go to a medical college from which she will graduate with honors, therefore reaching her long cherished hope. The next time Helen appears before us it will be as a very success- ful physician in one of our large cities. But alas ! This will not last many years for a certain man will meet her in a very mysterious manner, and finally make her see that it is useless for her to work so hard when he is about. So after a few years you can picture Helen living in one of the largest cities 108 of the State happy in her new duties as a physicianis wife, for that certain young man was also a successful physician. 6601016 10136116 1El111b6I't011 THERE is occasionally seen fiitting over the campus and through the halls a demure young lady who possesses this most imposing name, Georgia Lorene Lamberton. She cast her lot with the class of 1907, in 1905, and ably filled the Presidential chair that year. She is not only working for the degree of M. E. L., but is also an asiduous art student, and it is probable that she will attend some good art school for a while after graduating from Irving. Such a prepossessing young person could not fail to receive much attention from the masculine element of her environment. She has a brother at Kiskij' and this no doubt accounts for her great interest in that institution. She really is not averse to the opposite sex for this is one of her favorite sentiments L'amour, c'est magninque I That she has good intentions may be seen from her own words, I mak' mariee wan day, wit ine gen- ti'1nan,,' and we feel certain that this ambition will be realized and she will live happily ever after.
