wit anb Tbumor-Glontinueb IRISH ELAT EPIC. CC07'zti7z1zcd from page 1385. To us 'twas a wonderful blessing, it aided us greatly in study And long 'ere the Wlorlds Series ended we knew the results of the struggle. But great was the vengeance of Ouiji when several thoughtless Hibernians Placed jitneys in fabulous stores on McGill, disregarding his warn- ings. Wlith a blow of his almighty arm he placed us in poverty's clutches And thenceforth for many a moon Old Colds were our sole dis- sipation. One Hero from Indian River, o'erwhelmed by his comrades' great losses In a lit of despondent dejection threw his overcoat out of his window. As politics seized our attention and ambition took firm hold upon us Dread Mougha, Assyria's god, departed and left us to perish. However, we were not discouraged, and soon a new god we estab- lished, In honour of Mars we enlisted to save old St. Mikes from the Germans. - Each day could be seen on-the campus the hosts of our valiant army. Each day 'lohnny Sullivan led us to battle with hostile collegians. XYhen winter's great legions besieged us, we had to suspend opera- tions, And, seizing the respite thus offered, we left for the halls of our Fathers. PART II. At the close of the gay, festive season, right willingly back came we laden Xllith provender ht for a siege of months at the hands of King lYinter. Some carried many line chickens, of course of the feathered descrip- tion, Some carried stores of the Bean, which Heroes now eat for am- brosia. And one, with the presence of mind that characterizes the Heroes, Brought much of the sweet, fragrant weed to aid us in bearing our burdens. For Cheiron, the centaur, our master, has set us great tasks to ac- complish. And many he drives to distraction with Tintax and Automahog'ny. So oft, after dinner or supper, we beat it upstairs prematurely, To lighten our sorrows and troubles with smoke from the old corn- cob special. But great are the perils encountered in beating it up in this fashion Por woe to the Hero who chances to run across one of the prefects. Wlith Sergeant O'Rafferty leading, these cruel predatory humans Keep vigilant watch on our movements, lest anyone break regula- tions. On one sad occasion indeed, when ten or twelve Irishmen slumbered Past rising-time, straightway the culprits to exile in Hades were banished. 'lfhen quickly the days grew to weeks. the weeks grew to months just as quickly, Till, much to our joyous surprise, St. Patricks Day dawned bright upon us. Herein lies the close of my story, for time, 'tis said, waits not for laggardsg Suffice it that, true to tradition, the day passed with great jubilation. This is the flat of the Irish, wherein dwell the vagrant I-Iiberniansg Down through the hallways of time, the fame of our exploits shall echo. Here dwell we, pupils of Cheiron 3 here dwell we, sons of immortalsq Here in our little Olympus. we live for the glory of living. IISSI

wit anb lbumor-Gontinueb THE LAMENT OF CLASS '15. CIJAPTER I. 1. It came to pass in the year of the great war that the king of Cloverhillland had under him all the kingdoms from Campus Recreatus to Judea, including Hibernia. 2. And the same year it happened that when the Hibernians were come back from their visit to distant lands, even from Cayuga, Eganville and Dundas, that their Tetrarch was missing and their homes destroyed. 3. And they complained loudly saying, XfVhat mean these things? XVhere are our homes and whence is our 'l'etrarch tled? 4. And the king answered saying. Your Tetrarch has been moved from Hibernia and your homes have been moved to a warmer country and a new Tetrarch set over ye. 5. And the l-libernians went out and into the new country. 6. And they were all sad because they loved their Tetrarch much and did mourn for him. 7. Now it happened that their new homes were good and the Hibermans liked them much, it is said even better than those that had just been destroyed, because it was good to be warm. 8. And it happened that their new Tetrarch was of Judea and he brought with him many of his own countrymen. Q. But the Tetrarch and his countrymen took on the cus- toms of the Hibernians and became as the Hibernians them- selves. .IO. And the new Tetrarch was a good ruler and soon gained the favour of all. frool C HAPTER ll. 1, Now in those days it happened that Brebner was ruler over the people of Yarsity and he examined all the Hibermans. as was the custom, and asked them many questions. 2. And behold some answered him wrong and he showeth no mercy unto them. 3. And of those who answered wrong some were branded with two stars and exiled from X arsity and Hibernia for one year. and some were branded with only one star. 4. Now Brebner branded them thus that he might know them again. and he warned them saying. If any of ye answer- eth me wrong again. I shall brand ye with a dozen stars. take away from ye the cloak of wisdom and banish ye from X ars1ty and Hibernia forever. 5. And those that answered wrong were afraid and did tremble and set themselves to studying all the works, whereon they were questioned. for they were all much afraid of Brebner. 6. Now in this wav there were many banished and exiled from Hibernia Cal and many others had the cloak of wisdom taken from them. so that only the very wise among them were allowed to wear this cloak and even among these there were few who were not branded by a star. may TI'2l,Clltl'O'll has it, and it is also stated by some of H:ibernia's best historia-ns, among them one from Dundas and one from Sudbury. that the number of Hi-bernians banished exceeded the number Uhat re- mained. The authenticity of the annals is questionable, as some of the older ones contain the names of Thomas Hickery Donovan, Mount Fo-rest: Joseph O'Ne'il Lindsay and Charles Haw! Clayton Bohain, Ha-velock. None of these places can be found on the map at the present rtirne, but those who holld for the truwth of the annals maintain that Mount Forest went to gralssf' th-at Lindsay has been changed to Hughesville and -thart Haveloek was moved away one morning in a boxcar. These 'things are not a mat-ter of faith and we are free to believe or clisbelieve them.
