W: CLASS Commencement clay is here at last! Long expected to appear! Nought Sevenis history is past, A Class they all did fear! A brief review of events well take Of this mighty Class of N oughty Seven, Whose deeds to the Noughty Eight Appear as thunderbolts from heaven! Far back in the days of nineteen four This favored class put up their stakes The sounds increased to one great roar, While the upper classes did but quake. First on the scene to this great throng Appeared out clean, with face a-glow; His greeting was a loud llHonkl Honklll He saw this class was not so slow. Just to show they meant things sure As a final to a lecture grand, They demolished half the furniture And then proceeded to disband! Once more theylre seated in Hall B, As handsome a Class 215 you could sight ; Some one shouted: One, two three! What a reception for Billy KnightV With white locks streaming. he arose To transfer his wisdom to this crowd. Did he do it, do you suppose? Nay, nay! The class was much too loud! POEM E Who tries it now, so bold, and proud, This haughty class to tame? 'Tis our deanls son l For him a Shroudy Loudly did this class proclaim! Who said: nThe class will be quiet to-day, For they are up against a hill. All one could hear was: Hurrah. for Way 1 Not quite so bold, but undaunted still. The firit year ended, all was well, Freshies they will no longer be ; But, as Juniors now, you still can tell The same old Class, of troubles free. To start the ball they sprang a trap On the Freshies, raw and green; They rushed that Class clear off the map! Nought-Seven reigned supreme! As the year began 50 did it end, This class forever in the lead; No chance for a break, or even a bende Unconquered to their homes they speed! Alas, the Senior year is here, With the State Boards on their headl But on each face we read good cheer ; They never knew the word called lldreadfl So, bow your head, take off your hat! Start them on their way to heaven ; The only wish we leave is that YOLfll be as good as Noughty Seven! -L. C. G., '07.
