Old Ninct ;-Nine. ' Tis not of some ancient classic That I would write to-day, ' Tis not of the lords and nobles, That long ' have passed away, But I would send this message To you in simple rhyme, From those, whose names are yet unknown To the mystic years of Time. It was somewhere along ' in the nineties That we first began to be, That we first hailed the light of morning Through the windows of L. V. C. We have swept through Prep. and Freshman, We ' ve experienced Sophomore, And have, with pride, been Juniors, But can be such ?io more. Ah, no ! we are more ancient. We ' re Seniors classified. We have been taug-ht to wear a smile. And caps and g ' owns beside. We stand to-day, with courage. On the threshold of Life ' s door. We shall not pass this way again. Or g ' reet you as before. Our coUeg ' e days are dear to us. We have g ' leaned many a friend. Sometimes weyi?«; the future, now That all these scenes must end ; ' Tis hard to part, to say adieu, Perchance, no more to meet. Oh friends, to every one of us, Old college days are sweet. No more we ' ll stroll the campus o ' er, Or watch the baseball game. Or steal away to Steinmetz woods. For violets, wild and tame. No, we must pass adown the path.

strewn with L,ife ' s pleasures new, Some seek for power and some for fame, We leave the old to you. Perchance, amidst your work of books. You shall not think of those. Who made the path o ' er which you trod, And shared like joys and woes ! If such should be, we can ' t condemn- But we remember thee, Thoug-h scattered far in every la.nd Apart, for aye, we be ! Say, do you think one can forg-et. And start life all anew, And will time screen in silent years The friends we loved most true ? Can we forg-et old coUeg e song-s, Or Banjo Serenade, — Can all the rush of business drown The prayers the Dr. prayed ? Ah, when we think of this, we say. That we are loathe to leave, And parting brings back olden times, For which our spirits grieve, But when we think of what Life holds For us, if we are true. Of honor and of richest good Of noble work to do, — We long to go; we long to drink, From out Life ' s copious streams The wealth of years; we leave to you The past and all its dreams. Your lot be in business worlds. Or in home ' s purer shrine We beg you cherish in j ' our hearts, Cooil will for ' 99. — H. TTiE Spangi ek Shei.i.ev.
