A Senior Song. O thee, our class we sing, May all thy praises ring In sweetest song ! Ere thou to college canie Everything there was tame. O thou, so bright in fame, May'st thou live long. Our class, thee all men know Where'er thy colors blow- Old gold and white. Victory has oft been won, Great deeds have oft been done, Always our class has run For fame and right. When we our Work have done, And our reward have won, And left these parts. XVe shall remember thee, And always think of thee, For thou shalt ever be Dear to our hearts. 23 R. C. HORN

Junior Histor . QQ SILENTIBUS UMBRIS ANNO MM. As brave ,Eneas long ago Sought the silent shades below, To visit his old friends g So Cuma's sibyl led the way, On a dark and dreary day, Brought us to the jaws of Hell Where the evil spirits dwell To visit our old friends. ENEATH the lonely night we softly felt our way, Through Pluto's vacant realms, where empty kingdoms As through a wood at night, when heaven is overspread With heavy dismal clouds and all is dark and dead. At last, with trembling fear and measured tread, we came To Pluto's first domain, where Grief and Worry reign 5 Here Charon had just placed a sorry-looking wretch. XVe hailed the aged sire returning back to fetch Some other mortal soul, perhaps, a friend of mine,- For such is cruel Death and such is cruel Time. Amongst the Writhiu g forms of thousands in that den I recognized but one, a sallow specimen- Our old-time Danny Hamm,-he's still collecting wood Of trers that do not grace his earthly neighborhood. The wood he now collects is a coaly fossil form, The kind we burn in stoves to make our houses Warm. He has consolation now, for when he reached life's goal, Instead of hunting wood, he thought he'd shovel coal. A little farther on we met a deep abyss XVhere ministers are stored who made their call amiss. Here Bishop Landis cried and Father NV enrich pled, The Furies tortured them, their eyes were fiery red 3 And in that murky mire,-I shudder to repeat,- Was Schofer trying hard to get upon his feet. The stench was simply Herce, our lab. was bad enough, But HQS is mild aside that rotten stuff. The cause I quickly learned of this ambrosial state, For as soon as food was brought, the Harpies came and ate We hastened on our way. I felt a little fright As Centaurs, Gorgons, Satyrs turned aside in flight. We reached a monstrous vault with domes and pillars high YVith demons on their thrones a-watching passersby. A motley, hideous crowd we found on every side g 25 la
