M I R R O K THE LUCKY 13 Thirteen to some seems unlucky, But the following seem quite plucky, Though that in number, we Are fairly lucky as you can see. The first one is our artist, Rose, Who in Math great knowledge shows. Groves also likes to play at art, But the class clown is his true part. Our studious Pick is the third, Of his lessons he knows every word. The fourth is Fowle, our all around star, Who sinks in baskets from near and far. Greenlee ' s the fifth, language is his joy, A jolly, good natured, popular boy. The sixth one is Frank, quiet and kind, Many a good thing comes from his mind. Smith of the city is a great Charleston fan, Prospects are he ' ll make a peach of a man. Bersbach at studies a shining light, Always lively and very bright. Merrill, the ninth, has a peach of a bus, He ' s class president, too, that ' s why the fuss. Lackner, the tenth, we ' ve nicknamed Late, ' Although he plays his fiddle first rate. Eleventh is our good scout, Beardslee, None like to argue more than he. Twelfth is that jolly boy, Bill C. Who is a friend to all like he? Thirteen is he who wrote this stuff, And now thinks he has said enough. With this we make a bow to you, And kindly bid ye all adieu. SOPHOMORE BEATITUDES Blessed are they that chew gum in music for they shall see Mr. Smith. Blessed is the person that insults a Senior for he will need a blessing. Blessed are they that drop banana peels for they shall get a basket under their window. Blessed is the dentist chair for it shall save us from conditty. Blessed is the girl ' s gym but blessings won ' t help it. Blessed are the Sophomores for they never get a blessing. Twenty-four

Motto — Essayoxs ' OFFICERS President Herbert Woodward Vice-President Emma Woolfolk Secretary-Treasurer Alice Beardslee HOW SIR WALTER CAME AND WENT Sir Walter appeared one morning, in the outward form of a newspaper pack- age carried very tenderly between Emma and Alee Ann. When the package was divested of its wraps, it was found to be a wire cage containing a rather lean, sleek-looking rat: Sir Walter. There was little resemblance in the features of the original Sir Walter and his namesake. For while the original had rather a florid countenance with eyes deeply set beneath a jutting forehead, his namesake had a distinctly long and narrow, sharp-looking face with twinkling black eyes. They looked rather like black shoe-buttons. Perhaps the cause lor giving our mascot such a distinguished name was that he had such a knowing, wise little look. More probably the reason was because Emma had such an affection for the Scotch, for Sir Walter was named when he arrived. While he was installed on a chair and various inquisitive lower-class visitors were admitted, Al hunted around for a more commodious home for Sir Walter. She returned with an old bird-cage and Sir Walter was safely installed in his new residence.
