S. in such jolly good companion- ship, I find it difficult to go away with- out leaving some small token of love to my class-mates and school-mates.

| INCOLNIT p PSALM Miss Smothers is my English teacher, I shall pass. She maketh me to learn poems, she leadeth me to make oral reports. She preserveth my marks; she leadeth me into the Library for my grade’s sake. Yea, though I study until my head aches; I shall fear no evil, her favors are for me. She prepareth an assignment in the presence of my classmates. She annointeth my head with injunc- tions, my cup runneth over. Surely conditions of flunking will fol- low me all the days of my stay hare, and I shall be studying English forever. Sammie M. Lampkin, ’29 THINK OF ME Think of me long, Think of me forever, Think of the fun we’ve had together Think of me when life is sweet, Think of me until we meet, And when the grave shall be my bed, Think of me when I am dead.
