mm mm. um T 0 be or not to be; that is the question. Whether ltis better to be a Freshman Entering upon the joys of a four years' course, With all the honors yet to come, And all wisdom too, Or to be a Seniorewith all the honors gained And all the knowledge grasped with eager hands, About to leave fair Oakhurst, and our guides Who led us among labyrinths of Math, And steered us safely thro Aeneasj troubles, SOLILOQUY OF AN OAKHURST SENIOR mm mmmu. And caused our minds to delve in English Litr- Aye, therels the rube To leave fair Oakhurst and all we there enjoy And journey to that unknown place That people call the world, And there to try our fortunes. Perhaps it happier were to be a Freshman, But thenil am not suree Perchance it better were to be a Senior. A. L. E., 15.

lNEw THOUGHT LL PC. I AN this be the class of ofteen? Could these be our dear old classmates? Once so sweet and simply girlish, Now so rich and rare and racy; Gathered on the lawns of Oakhurst. Come again for a reunion. Raps for order now our leader Libby King, it is no other, Brow severe and calmly certain; In her hand a pennant holding, Womanos Sphere writ in gold letters. By her side another standing, Dress of black and badge of silver, oTis no other than F. Crozier, In her hand a volume holdingo Poems on the new thought movement. PROPHECY OF 1 9 1 5 And there is our little Terry, Once romantic, now domestici And so plump, so fair, complacent. She speaks wisely of housekeeping To a tall and flashy stranger. Surely from the stage sheos wandered, Ah! My faith, otis dear old Carrie, Willow plumes all bravely nodding, Lily hands so wildly waving. Over there sit two sweet spinsters, Holding hands and looking happy; By their side a cat and parrot. Swains came pressing from all nations ooBut we'll be together always, Said those maidens, Jane and Flossy, ooMarry both or leave us single.
