OME FRESHMAN FACTS Now this little piece of poetry, when having read it through, Will appear to you funny, but nevertheless iris true; About every fellow in our class the truth Ijve tried to tell, But it is easy to 56:6 upon reading, 'twas not written well. First is Adams, from Virginia, always talking of his clan, Then two young Butlers from Belfontain whdd make one fair sized man; Next comes Christy from Marathon, with his hair always in a tangle, And Cumming from somewhere in Ohio, with Nicholson always in a wrangle; De La Croix, as his name implies. This, however, his Irish face denies; Young Flesher from Mt. Vernon would like to be a sport, But, boys, we know quite well hels nearly always broke; Thereis Gibson, whose birthplace is still unknown, But his table manners prove that he was raised upon corn pone; lloblitzell comes wabbling in, for lectures most always late. But Johniiy-on-the-Spot when there are tales to relate; Holten and Hickey both hail from Old Kentuck, O 102 With bluc-grass stains upon their pants and in poker all the luck; Harper uses stimulants and then extracting likes to do, With a few quick shakes and a straightAarm pull, he always fetches two. As to Keller and Kibbee we know nothing funny, Except they are like Kesser thil Ohill when it comes making money ; Law and Lawson, our two West Virginia snakes, Say there is no place like home when asking the boarding- ladyls rates: McBain, though small, is a Greater New Yorker by fate, Slow in his technic, but for a dance never late; Now, there's McClung, who thinks he's a wise old hen, But Dr. Knight with anatomy does certainly stick him; Martin and Ross we know are quite chummy, But their room-mates say they often feel funny; Old Jimmy Moore, well, itis an understood fact That the gals admire him? Why? Well, not for his tact. Maple is a Quaker and favors his race, For piety is stamped all over his face;

Thereis Nickell, a lad who we must not forget, For a dentist I'm sure he's wholly unlit; For distilling 0f moonshine he is the real stuff, If helll be good he can go on with his bluff. Nicholson, from Rhode Island, brave deeds clone by him- self loves to relate, And how for years in business he has made Wall street tremble and shake; Rice and Risch for brothers might be mistaken, But both emphatically deny any relation; Sharp and Sheppard, we all agree, Are excellent examples of what dentists should be; Smeltzer, from West Virginia, with hair and eyes like a crow, Keeps Cupid busy using his bow; Wood is from Kentucky, as we all know, As well as his answers of quizzes, with a frown, and Donlt know; Needham is a farmer and a pretty good feller, But we all wish he would quit wearing his cuffs for a collar; And last, but not least, comes john Sullivan XVard, With a frown on his face and a blood-printed mrd, l am Sergeaut-at-Arms, and you must walk straight, Or Illl take my Est and break your darn old pate. w-L. 103
