in u u il in in Examination Day The melancholy day is here The most dread of the year. TVhen notes and books are laid away For 'tis examination day. Those days of bluff we thought so fine Now send a shudder down our spine. TVe know now blufling doesn't pay On this examination day. Last night we crammed ,till early morn Of things they did ere we were born. YVL' proved in fifteen different ways lfor this examination day. And now the day is really here For which we thought we had no fear. TVe're wrong we find to our dismay On this examination clay Our brain onee bright--'ffthey now are dumb Our muscles active-now they are numb. All we ran do is sit and pray On this examination clay. The teaehers look so stiff and stern No help from them we quickly learn No smiles from those who once were gay On this examination day. Of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest of these, lt might have beenu The truth ot this we're here to say On this examination day. f-E. DI. T.

And this lllflll lived with no otl1er thought rllhan tl1ey of l1i111 SllOlllll k11ow. He was a lad like otl1er lads lint XVllCI1 l1e was l1alf past three, His pa1'e11ts died, leaving l1i111 to reside XVith a wealtl1y family. And l1ere he lead a pampered life, Allowed to do his will But l1ad he lived the life l1e sho11ld He might have heen living still. At tl1e age of ten to school l1e XYCIII' ln tl1e kingdom by tl1e sea, And here l1e proved a lad of worth And rare ability. V He stndied fl1Cll both long a11d hard At language Zlllll philosophy. ln Riehrnond then he went to school A11d 111ore honors did l1e win. Hut sad to say, he went astray And spite of all l1is sins. As a last resort, l1e was sent to stav VVith so111e of l1is INOfllCl'S ki11. At writing l1e did 11ot XVll1 fame For many, 111a11y years. But when l1e did, he gained the praise Of all of l':Ilgl2H1ll'S peers. 'Twas tl1e11 he wed a maiden fair Tender ancftrne but Hail, He loved this maid witl1 all l1is heart And there 011 hangs the tale. His wife was always very weak And so 0116 unhappy day, From the very worst of poverty, She was quietly called away. After the loss of his only joy He did not Care to stay. His ow11 death tame soon afterwards His life was all too gay, But l1is works will live forever Yes, forever a11d a day. -F. M. T. '27 Page Forty-tfwo 41
