THE BLACK AND GOLD. Qllaaa ldnvm l.llVx :l1i'r Martin. 1 7Tis effort alone that 's sure to count In life's hard battles We all must fight So, kind friends, bear With me patiently novv As a poem for my class, I try to indite. 2 Just a Word for each lad and laissie gay In passing novv I'll try to tell For most keenly We feel our parting today A fact which you all must know full Well. 3 You must not measure our learning . By our very diminutive size For a full share of praise vve've been earning Though this to you may be a surprise. 4 Ten long years vve've toiled and Worked Our faculty can tell you 'tis trueg And We've truly endeavored never to -shirk Though the sky not always was blue. 5 . Whfat shall I say of the girls s-o bright That no poet has ventured before? Of Anna Dell 's Wit, 'tis not hard to Write While Cornelia, our vvhi-stler, will always score

THE BLACK AND GOLD. 6 Fr-om Alma Hauser and fair Daisy Yates, Now be sure I'm telling the truth, We may learn every inch of our future fates Though We're just in the bloom ,of youth. , 7 Buft the tree of knowledge that Wonderful tree, Howard Go-dfrey our inquisitive boy must find, For to all closed doors he must needs have the key Or ask every question that pops in his mind. 8 Now David to Mary, that maiden contrary Geometry in full could impart If mathemaitics he'd talk, When she happens to cough Instead of the stuff in his heart. 9 Luther and James our noted athletes, Are the pride and the bo-ast of our class, But, Percy, when it comes to pure mental feats Not even M. Grogan can surpass. IO T. Langley, the beau, loves all the girls so, But especially Sudie Byerly And even Mary Jones though in the softest of tones, Invites him pret-ty often to tea. ll The Matlock sisters and Mamie Wall NOW, every Word I tell you is true, Flirt terribly with Kyle, outrage-ously tall, Though it makes Essie Wilkin-son quite blue.
