SCHOOL, SWEET SCHOOL! ’Mid pleasures and palaces the Juniors may fool. Be it ever so humble there’s no place like school; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there. It’s a bird, called the buzzard, that dropped from the air. REFRAIN: School, school, sweet, sweet school; There’s no place like school, Oh, there’s no place like school. I gaze on the school as I follow the dear rule, And feel that my future still hangs on the school; As we look on that building from our own cot- tage door, Tho’ the limbs of the old elm will charm us no more. An exile from school, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh, give us that building just once again; The children playing loudly, that comes at our call: Give me that school, dearer than all. C. E. B., T9.

.11 MOK ( LASS IIISTOHV w w On a bright September day the class of ’19 began their voyage to the far away port of graduation. The voyage had been contemplated for a long time. Other crews had completed the voyage safely before, so the little band of happy hearted sailors climbed aboard the good ship •Happiness with much laughter and joy. The ship appeared the essence of happi ness as she lay ready to begin her first journey. Her white sails, unscarred by wind or rain, lay brightly against the blue sky. The sailors hung over the sides, or butted around the deck of the ship, all happy in the thought of the voyage. At day-break, the Happiness spread her white sails and soon left the harbor far behind. The voyage was not all pleasure. The sailors were new' to the duties and many mistakes were made. But the captain was wise and kind, so everything went well for nine long months, until they ap- proached the land of Vacation. How beautiful the tower and spires of the city looked to the sailors as they approached it. And how happy they were as they left the ship for their long stay ashore! But the time passed quickly and the sailors began to look forward eagerly to resuming their journey.
