THE PURPLE AND GOLD VVe've profited greatly from his gains, May we from examples he had set. Tomorrow welll join the busy world And classes gone before, XYhere welll take every advantage Of opportunities galore. May the undergraduates we precede Profit from the work we've done, And their hours spent be as sweet As the class of forty-one. -Charles I-Iosser, 'll. Biology Biology l biology i this battle cry I give, Biology! biology! to find how all things live. VVe put frogs in formaldehyde, And, boy, do they smell nice! VVe also have a small green house, And in it are three white mice. Fishes and polywogs in the aquarium, Snakes, frogs, and turtles in the viva- rium. From amoeba to man is certainly a span, The way I like fish is deep in a pan. I've covered it all as far as I can see, And the highest mark I ever got is a doggone measly HC. -Gloria Chadbourne, '43, Teachers' Mistakes Friends, teachers, and schoolmates, lend me your ears, I come to bury trouble, not to find it. The evil students do lives after them, The good is oft interred in old books, So let it be among us. The noble teachers Have told you we are not ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously have we all answer'd it. Here because of Miss Sherburne and the rest- For she is an honorable persong S0 are they all, all honorable people- l44l Come I to write in this school paper. You are my friends, partners in naugh- ty deeds: But she says we are not ambitious, And she is an honorable person. VVe have brought many victories home to Nute, Vvhose spirits did the loyal students fill. Did this in us seem not ambitious? NVhen the boys have lost, the school has wept: Ambition should be made of just such stuff : Yet the teachers say we're not ambi- tious, And they are honorable people. -Ann VVoodbury, 42.

She looked so sweet, He looked so proud, That everyone exclaimed, They,ll live together All their life And always show the same. In two short years This couple was blessed VVith a living image of Tom. The neighbors were pleased, And so were they, For their marriage was made more strong. But, as time elapsed, Their home became A strained and icy place, For Toni had seen Sally out with a man, And each other they couldn't face. ln one short month They both had gone
