The world is hers to conquer now, The world is at her feet, Deepest rc-rerem'e is hers, Q Respect and homage sweet. I-lor brain has grown a pound in weight, Shes taller by two feet. She has gained a ton of dignity- And naught-nine would add-1-oneeit. Ilut she's all right, this Senior girl, l'll stake my life on that- liut lo! There moves before my eyes A scene to wonder at. A bright and shining silver cup ls given to Captain Kate, And a banner labeled Champions ls waved by naughty-eight! Other pictures eome and go And mingle into one, The Senior's thought and industry And science, art and fun. l And though I see no laurels Entwined about her hair, ,l know a crown of brave sueeess, In justice, should be there. And 'I' would fill a glass to you Ntdith blessings by the score, My dear old friends of naughty-eight, And then some blessings more. And always when they're drinking toast Wherever 1 may roam, In thought lfll pledge a health to you Ere you vanish in the foam. To live the old life over, I wish it not-and yet, There still remains within my heart A shadow of regret. And as 1 leave it all to turn Upon a. broader way. This hardly seems like sehool at allg But one long holiday. ANN U1 29 fu INER

But now there comes 'a change. of scene, 'Tis in a minor tone, - Now the ball game's over, N 4 And the first real grief has come. Their cup of sorrow's almost full, But even now they swear . Some day they'll fill another's cup, Some happy day and fair. A Their forms' and voices vanish l -In dimness as before. Another picture frames itself Within an open door- A hundred smiling faces Exchanging friendly looks- , The Juniors welcome nineteen-ten Into this realm of books. They call the Freshmen Sisters, As old naught-six had done, With loyal-true affection. ' V Ah, friendship's lots of fun! Vg, J, It is a good and generous year ' 3 ' Of days both dark and gay. 'V The happiest times are times of joy, -' ' And sadness, too, they say. There's one day I'll remember N I Throughout all time I -guess, 1 And it shall ever be recalled l ' With pride, I must confess. I if ---:.. .
