The sun of Ninety-live was high, and its rays of blending light Showed well to all who saw it, its splendor and its might. As Midcllers back again we came, with our numbers greater still, And though some were not desirable, there was far more good than ill. Yet we went, a certain evening, to a still pond's grassy brim, And experiments were made to see if Frenchman learned to swim. Again we conquered Andover, and she learned once for all That, though we may be slandered, we can surely play football. In the space of three short minutes the ball was past theirline, From the tossing of our crimson flags the sky turned red as wine, And in their homeward journey, in the dusty, crowded train, Perhaps they then decided that they ne'er would boast again. But the heavens at old Exeter rang with merry cheer and shout As witl1 bonfires and high revelry we watched the stars fade out. When the morning came to greet us we could not speak a word, Though, when our throats were moistened, a whisper could be heard. But soon the spring had come and gone, and our middle year was done, With all its play and all its toil, its sorrow and its fun. The glorious sun of Ninety-five now straight downward poured its rays, All else, so far below it, was brightened by its blazeg O A few small specks upon its face could not obscure its light, But simply made the other parts, by contrast, still more bright. At last, as Seniors, now we see all else beneath our rule, And surely we have tried to raise the standard of the school g And though the school is smaller than it e'er has been before Since the time we entered Exeter, yet the honor men are more, And the football team was very strong, and opinions all agree I That if Andover had played us, her defeats would number three. This year our French professor left, after twenty years of work, And never, during all this time, his duty did he shirk. His place was filled by two young men, so young 't would not be wrong To ask them, as 't is said one did, To which class do you belong? , So now we leave the school for good and all our ties we sever, But let us love old Exeter for ever and for ever. We can well boast of our record as long as we 're alive, And Exeter can well be proud of the class of Ninety-Five. just as we leave, so the great sun sets, decked in colors gay, And burning red each cloud is tinged with a crimson colored ray, Thenfjust as he is setting, he shines with still more light, And gleams e'en more than e'er before with lines of colors bright.
