— 1921 M 1 R A G E 30 We leave Hoffman’s foolish questions To these Freshmen, for 'tig known by all That by inquiry is great knowledge gain- ed. Our Beck leaves her choice of words To you. Freshmen. Hhy. meek and demure; For you have neither wit. nor words, nor worth. Action, nor utterance nor power of speech Worthy of Sophomores. And to the underclassmen we leave our captaincy, Our prowess in the game of basketball; And may you cherish the cup for which we strove With might and main, ‘gainst many odds and won. Flower of our genius, our debaters.— Judge. Oh ye Gods, how bitterly we fought Marietta— This was the most unkindest cut of all. The rest of us our modesty nnd meekness leave. Our dignity. Inherent grace and sterling worth. And above all. we order ourselves as in- dividuals to pay One large debt of gratitude to all those Who made possible our advanced educa- tion. This is our will, oh people But 21 is no more. Oh setting sun. As in thy red rays thou did’st sink tonight So with the dusk the Seniors' day is set. Our memory remains; our day is done. HARRY HERDMAN.
