It donlt seem right-this extra pay- I've had my pay in fun A-writin' these things-that's why I say, I I '7 H I wonder what Ive done. Flowers and medals and verse lie near,- The tributes of his friends Who want to return a bit o' the cheer His singing always lends. The Poet looks at the gifts about, And ponders why he's won Such love.-Then speaks his doubt,- I wonder what I've done i Sweet Artlessness l-This the magic part Ol the singer and his song :- The simple Love of his own big heart Pulses the rhyme along! Io lamcs Whitcomb Riley

During this period the school had been growing, until finally it became necessary to buy the old Second Presbyterian Church on the Circle. This was remod- eled into a three-story building, the first floor being used by part of the grammar school gradesg the second by school offices and second, third and fourth years of the high schoolg and the third fioor by the first year students. By 1870 an additional change was needed, so the Baptist Seminary, which stood where our old building now is, was purchased and enlarged.

Roberts, who has ever been one of Shortridge's most loyal friends, entered the ofiice in 1874, remaining until 1880, when he was followed by Mr. Grant.
