Uncouth, and rough, old wooden “shack” We who have known you. wish that you wfere back That we might knock the knot holes out again. From your brown walls, and in the halls Run up and down to hear the floor Creak, groan and tremble more and more! You were a mass of worn-out lumber then. Yet in your rooms gaunt knowledge stalked the same; Here English flowed, and stately History. And Algebra, and sweet Geometry, And Physics and blessed Chemistry! A strip of gravel is the only spot That now reminds us of you. oh. forgot Forsaken, rustic Hall of Fame! ! J. S. M. 12

 In this fast moving age. most men Should know some trade or art, for then They’re fixed to combat life’s Vicissitudes and strifes! And so the humbler kinds of trades are taught! As well as those pure cultural ones taught! This entertaining building, sounds all day The buzz-saws wail, the anvils beat Where Carpenters and young Blacksmiths compete To make the loudest noise they may. Woodworkers and Machinists also learn A house to build, or useful tool to turn! And on the second floor, we draw The most artistic things you ever saw! Artistic columns, pillars, and machines, Or furniture to which your fancy leans! And just across, whence comes that smelly fume, Does Chemistry the students’ minds illume! Plane Geometry and Algebra close by Give pains to hearts and tears to many an eye! ! Above such manly arts as these. On the third floor, the stranger sees The housewives of the future sew On the machines, or stitch by hand. And cook, (and learn to wash dishes, too) Such powers of love are these that they command! They know the value of a well maked pie, Or prim, neat dress—to catch a lover’s eye! This building, somehow seems the Home of Love, The young men work below. And the young women work above! J. S. M. II
