CLASS SONG OF JANUARY, 1902 ' I Can ' t Tell Why I Love Yc We walked these halls Within these walls For many a weary day : We talked and sighed. We tried and tried To do our best, they say. Have we worked in vain? We cried in pain. They answered No, and sighed, But we ' d like you to tell Why you love us so well ; Then we girls through our tears replied: And now Good-bye We say, and sigh, ' ' To you we shall be true With love most sweet, With praise most meek, We bid you all adieu . ( )n a distant day, When we ' re far away, The story oft we ' ll tell Of the teachers here, ( )f our friends so dear, Of the school we loved so Choris — We can ' t tell why we love you, but we do-oo-oo, This world is full of friends the same as you-oo-oo, But something we can ' t tell Seems to hold us in your spell ; We can ' t tell why we hive you, but we do-oo-oo.

Mary Sparks, the President of our class, has been studying under Miss Coit to become a trained nurse, and expects, when occasion offers, to minister to young soldiers wounded in their country ' s cause. She will continue this training in the great hospital at Philadelphia, and there will meet a talented physician. He will be completely captivated by her charms and will induce her to spend with him the remainder of her life. Zilpah Tignor is fond of all sorts of pottery, rookwood, wedgewood and other Japanese wares, but especially of the kind known as Joe Ware. His scalp, however, may soon be numbered with many others taken by this modern Diana, whose quiver is stocked by Cupid only. If you are looking for an ideal mistress of a kindergarten, our class can supply you. Helen Winston and her dear little white apron cannot be equaled anywhere. She and her beloved Bess would like to spend life in an Old Maid ' s Paradise, but we think burglars would invade this charming retreat before long. There is one among our number who has evidently never studied the problem of fatigue, for she has announced her intention of being a Walker through life. She is especially qualified to raise money for Christian Association buildings, and in connec- tion with this has many good ideas in the line of booths, and so forth. Class Prophet. 26
