The honored class of '72- No girls more gifted, none more true. Why, muses, ye may well be proud To be invoked by such a crowd. MUSES. 'XVc sing of brave and valorous deeds. On fields of France the battle-steeds Have neighed in pride, on high have waved The standards of the German host. Since heroes' names must stand engraved In epic verse, that none be lost, - The poets far across the sea Demand a hymn of victory. . JUNIOR. Ye singof valor? Ye shall tell Of Junior prowess. Oh, how well I mind me of the glorious day When Juniors proudly bore away The standards of the Senior class, And left them hatless quite, alas! And heard re-echoed long and loud Their mournful cry of Ichabod ! MUSES. 'We sing of the glorious passion, love, At once both human and divine. ' Weak, mortal man, and mighty J ove,
