Flhv Shutter when the mercury registers only thirty below. To them goes the torture in the sanctuary of Isis when the call of the bed clothes is too great and they arrive at the gates of learning at 8:20. They also must keep away from the lunch room at eleven, when savory smells are driven up by the hot air. Ah! my sons and daughters, you have lots to bear, but go forth with a cheerful heart and you'll get away from everyth'ng in seven or eight years. Now comes the serious job, for among our company are those who are ignorant, green, unsophisticated, numbskullish, dL11UlblJE3lllSl1,A-lI'l other words, they are the Frosh. Take care of these innocent darlings, my elder sons, and see that they get not into any s-craps. If, however, they wanzler from the flowery path of learning, they must suffer for their sins in two rooms, nam ely, 109 and 209. Along with these two rooms also go numerous blue slips. Down below our temples lie two dungeons wherein are contained numer ous devices of torture. I decree that these Frosh pass one hour every week to befit themselves for greater deeds to come. To a few who are chosen from this herd goes the job of resisting the vampish looks of those who would beguile them. Take this advice, my sons- make them go thru the study hall. Once a week also must the Frosh gather in the arena and warble their gentle lays to the noise of the tom tom and the wail of the saxaphone. This is the will of Tutankhamen whose body lies in the Valley of the Kings, but whose Ka is always with the gods. -Charles Vlfilde, -Anna Buonfiglio. Ellie Svrniurki illarwnell Sweet and subtle was the hour when we came, Coyly wand'ring into yon hall of fameg How ruggedly we trudged thru light and dark, Ever seeking some potent, perennial mark. Now have we come to the end of our days, Eluding all havoc, shunning dull frays, Creating new hopes, and voicing true praise To a noble, bright object, to a dear Alma Mater who destines each career. V Down thru the years we struggled, perhaps pained, Yet, we are loath to part, tho we have gained. However relieved may be the sore mind, It cannot but admire each trying grind. Granted all knowledge, it surely must think Highly of the fount where new thoughts we drink. Spring now comes with its gaiety and joy, Creating fond pleasures hard to destroy, Hurrying with it the last of our work, Onward rushing the sad parting we shiik. Oh, dear friends, farewell !-and heed you this rule: Love, honor, and sustain-ever-our School! -By R. T. Zeglan, june, '25. 21
