Reflections of a Senior ’Tis like stirring living embers when, at eighteen, one remembers All the achings and the quakings of the years that went before; How we shook the noisy rattle—of the ward school’s childish prattle— Of the marbles and the play-ground, and the heaps of fun at four. But a deadly chill comes o’er me as the day looms up before me, When a hundred freshmen trembled at the dingy high school door. Twas a bright September morning, when the sound that gave us warning, Was the tolling of the school-bell, and we said, “Our hour has come.” Then we threw away the rattles, gathered “all our goods and chattels,” And our feet they beat like foot-beats, but our hearts beat like a drum; And we stood with drooping feather, while our knees they smote together, And we squinted at the ceiling, but we mostly watched the floor. Then they showed us to the office, they did laugh at us and scoff us, The wise senior, the swell junior, the belligerent sophomore. Took in hand our education, to prepare for graduation, ’Till the bloom of blooming frcshmanhood, we shed it “at de door.” And the next September morning, we entered as that scorning, That jolly son of Satan, the belligerent sophomore. 16
