H COBBONIAN Ande hys swete systere Aggeness Was dubbed recorder of events. She is a stampe of worthieness, And always eateth pepperments. Syr Dick and Vincent thisse sesoun Showed mickel worth at basketballe, And gained their classe mouch renown, So may the gode sayntes bless thim alle. And thisse ye yeere did end I trowe, Thus thynges befel as alle menne knowe. When leaves were red and sunnes ful hote, And Autumn's herald monthe didde comme As juniors nowe wyth mickle note Thei enterred to the sound of drumme. Thei chose as officers this yeere Syr Dick commander and his aide Lord Vince, and to his systere deere, Who always eateth marmalade, Ye Secretariship thei gave, And Ladie Chadwick thei did make The Treasurer-gode soules and brave. Say all a maten for their sake. And in this yeere in joust they mette, Both on the rostra and the field, Ye classe of Twenty-one who yette l Through force of arms did make them yeild. But on ye field of basketballe Where many valiant knyghts didde plai, Thei lakked but two poynts of themme all And else thei shold have wonne ye dai. And on ye rostra where the clerkes With tongs the wonted rayce did ronne, The lordly judges doomed theyr werks, But bi a bote of two to one. And somme of this fayne classe renowned With those of Twentye-one's array, The Boys Debating Club didde found, NVhich standeth monument to-dai. 18
