I threw down my pencil and paper, I piled up my Stebbins and Burke, And taking my skis and toboggan, I soon forgot all 'bout school work. But the night passed away all too quickly, And at nine o'clock on the next day I sat in the Lower Assembly And wished I were far, far away. For the questions were lying before me And I didn't know what I should Write, So I watched those writing around me Who had studied all through the night. After answering a few of the questions I handed my paper in, And I vowed that the teacher's warning I would follow NEVER AGAIN. -Hulda Jacobson, '12. To take your books the night before, And cram in all forgotten lore, That 's Preparation! To take your books and walk to school, Carrying, too, your ink and rule, That 's Transportation. Then trembling from head to toe, Breath quick to come and quick to go, That 's Palpitation. The questions, which are short and sharp, Lead you to think of a good high mark, That 's Expectation. To heave a sigh when you are through, And throw aside your pencil, too, That's Emancipation. But then to iind that you have flunked, That 's-Blunderation. -Exchange, ' ' The Manitou.
