I The Freshman satin the school room, Quite silent and quite green, And these thoughts stole into his small heart. And he dream't a pleasant dream. II He had all his subjects gotten thru’, Yes, an honor in each one ; And mighty little he did not know Of the earth, of the stars, of the sun. hi He was now a great electrician At the head of a large, large shop ; And he rode to work each morning, In his auto with plush-covered top.

i8 social, and athletic circles, as they are known to all, and will remain in the school records as everlasting monuments to their originators. It is now the duty of the classes coming on to follow in the steps of their learned predecessors and try to obtain the same high standard of excellency. Exchanges. The “Blue and White” wishes to acknowledge the following exchanges: “The Academy” (Owego, N. Y.,) “The Congress’’ (Olean, N.

Have you no other class except the Juniors? This seems to be the onty class that appears in your April issue. “The Wind Mill” (Hudson, N. Y.,) You should have more exchanges in your column.

We are always glad to see the “Rumsey Hall Echo.” The “Tuskeegee Student” has some solid reading. “The Red and White7 does not come very often. —
