Bills Payable T is the day before Commencement and the girls are all in a flutter of excitement. Although happiness and joy seem to have full sway, the heart of each one is saddened at the thought of the separation on the morrow. Some of the girls are gathered in groups on the shady campus and spacious verandas, while others are in their rooms busily engaged in packing trunks. Among the latter is a dignified Senior. With sighs and tears she is putting all her worldly belongings into the big trunk, which will never again be brought inside the walls of Peace. While thus employed she comes across a bundle of bills received at different times during her college life. Well! well! she exclaims, I think, for a little amusement, I ' ll see what I have learned in four years concerning the proper use of money. This first bill is from the groceryman and is dated November 5th, 1904. la

CLASS POEM. In telectiQC me for poet, Ttaoueb perhaps they didn ' t know it. My ClassmatCB surely made a great mistake; For alter useless trying And weary woeful sighing, Alas ' no line poetic can I make. Through many a sleepless night I have tried in vain to write A poem that would bring me name and fame; But each successive verse Alas ' gets worse and worse Until I ' m almost overwhelmed with shame. If I should try to teU Of all we ' ve learned so well, I ' m sure that you. my friend, would fae amazed; For though the Logs were big. We ' ve forced our way through Trig. And at all the consteUations we have gazed. We ' ve studied many a page From bards of every age And still we feel that we have but begun To realize what treats Are stored for us in Keats, In Shelley, Byron, Browning, Tennyson. In history we have sought To concentrate our thought On heroes and the great deeds they have done. In music and in art We have also done our part; And in Languages great praises we have won. We are fluent quite in French, And we ' ve struggled through Old Ttench; In ancient classic we are very wise, In logic we can reason In and out of all due season And our arguments would fill you with surprise. And now so much we know From Peace we ' re forced to go. In other schools life ' s harder tasks to learn; But where ' er our steps may tend. And where ' er our journeys end, Our hearts to Peace will ever fondly turn. CLASS POET.
