CAMPBELL. EDITORS TRON CLASS Or 1902. HOUGHTON H. SHUMACHER HENRY EDWARD TEASDALE MX. CHARLES F. HARPER. A TOAST. With Apologies. Here's to our teachers one and all! And here’s to our worthy master! May he never be lacking in courtesies small From the classes that follow after! And here's to one who leaves us soon; Our beloved and good sub-master; Who is going south to the William Penn school Where he takes up the duties of master— Then fill up a glass and drink to him, And fill it with H a O. And drink with a cheer and a mighty shout To his health as he doth go! And, Mr. Smith, when you've gone from us, If the world on you should frown, Then think of the classes that honor you In good old Quincy town. Though deeds were committed without much thought, And many that we regret— The classes from 1902 to '06 Are thinking of you yet. And pardon these lines from the pen of one Whose bad deeds were not few. A thousand pardons ! ask from you For one who was “naughty, two.” Master—not of the troublesome throng Which after vain pleasure reaches, Ah, no! far better than that! For he Is master of that which he teaches. MR. MAURICE B. SMITH.
