Four years ago, Dowbtless you know, We Seniors came to college, With heart aglow, And minds to know, We came to gather knowledge. But those Exams.

But a few fell before the guns of Latin. We produced one star in baseball and from all evidences We should produce noted orators in the future. Our Sophomore year abounds with many great events. It was then that we laid aside our Freshman meekness and as- sumed a bold garb. As for pleasantries as- oh, well, every one knows what fun Sophs can extract from very little things, we did all these little things-only rather extensively. We do not remember what classes we were supposed to at- tend that year-one grows confused in trying to remember all the minor details of a four year 's course, full of real col- lege work.
