CLASS SONG. I. Now lift up your voices in notes loud and clear; I he hour of our parting, dear classmates, is here. I'or our steps on life's pathway we’re longing to turn; hor its duties and pleasures our eager hearts yearn. Chorus. I hen to the breezes, our banner we fling; From hearts fdled with gladness our joyous notes ring; And we vow that whatever, for us, life may hold, We will ever be true to the white and the gold II. With a sigh for the pleasures we ne'er can recall. We anxiously wait what to each may befall. Then to each classmate, each friend fond and true. With sorrowful hearts, we must now bid adieu. Chorus. III. Duty commands, we must answer the call. No longer we linger, there’s work for us all. With successes and sorrows, with pleasure and pain. We must patiently strive 'till the laurels we gain. Chorus. —BLANCHE E. MARTIN. The class is indebted to Prof. A. W. Platte for setting the class song to music. 27

“Well done, Greville. you did that rather too well to suit me, old fellow, you may get up,” Jack cried. Greville saw that Betty’s face was white with rage. Me scrambled up, bowed to his hostess, and made for the door. Betty rose and gave Jack a look which said plainer than words, 1 shall never forgive you for this.” Crossing the room, she laid a detaining hand on Greville’s arm. Don’t you think it would be more gallant to wait for an answer?” she asked in an undertone. “Come back into the room with me and we will turn this joke. Betty was laughing when they came back. “You see,” she explained, “1 wanted, at least, to give my answer in private, but since you all know the question you may have the answer too, I have accepted Mr. Greville.” Just then the orchestra struck up the latest waltz of the season, Betty glided off in Henry’s arms. The dance over, she sat out two more with him and then went to get ice with him. In response to Jack’s humble entreaty for just one two-step, she laughingly held up a filled program. Jack’s evening was spoiled. He went out into the night air, to try to comfort his feelings with a cigar, but did not succeed. “That girl is the most clever thing on earth, he said, “and if the fellow were any one but that good natured Hank, I'd challenge him to a duel.” This is what comes of a fellow's making a fool of him- self,” he mumbled to himself, as he saw Betty tripping away through the trees leaning on Greville’s arm.
