... .f I BANQUET TO SENIOR BASKET-BALL TEAM. Girls, it pays to do our Kdurnclestng for, when we beat the juniorsg to o our dear classmates and friends gave us a glorious banquet on Friday evening April seventeenth. As we stood around the table, in ecstasies over its beauty our class President offered the following toast :- Here's to our own Senior ball-team! Here's to the battle they fought! Winning the glorious struggle With a score of 9 to o. A Hightower of strength was one putter, With Alice to help and to plan, But the glory of most scores is given To our dear old faithful Mann. Centers and guards did their duty, In the future we've nothing to fear, One coat of whitewash is sufficient For the bliss of our Captain LeVere. With a mascot like Lewis, we're safe, V I-Ie's the pet and the joy of the team, With Miss Ford to lead, nothing else do we need While the smiles of our Earnest boy gleam. Here's to Helen and Minna Belle Laney! Whose faces joyfully beam, For from the scrubs they've been taken. To be stars on the, regular team. To the Sophs we say, God bless you! And friends still let us beg ' Weill yell when the Senior Ball Team Wins the Champion Victory! . .4 , 7 - 4' 4 e C 'V' :gi 5 , ,EM f 4555 ' J, 1: '-wifi ' ' A 'A gf, ' , I i - - ' iii!

l I l A MIDNIGHT ALARM. Gnce upon a midnight dreary, as I wrestled, sleepy, weary, With a hard examination, while sitting on the floor, While I nodded, almost napping, suddenly there came a tapping As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 'Tis some girl, I faintly murmured, tapping at my chamber door,- ' Qnly this, and nothing moref, But again there came this tapping, somewhat louder than before, Then the shaded lights looked ghastly, and the silence filled me vastly With a terror and a tremor never felt before, So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, 'Tis some girl that comes a-tapping, tapping at my chamber door,- Qnlythis, and nothing moref, Soon my fainting heart grew stronger, and daring then to wait no longer Come right in, dear girl, I said, and your forgiveness I imploreg Sorry for it, I was napping, and so gently you came rapping That I scarcely heard you tapping, tapping at my chamber door. 'Twas the matron, nothing more. With her keen eyes at me peering, still I stood there wondering, fearing, For my black marks numbered seven on her book the day before, But the silence soon was broken, and these cutting words were spoken: 'Heard you not the 'light bell' ringing at least two hours ago! This is why I came a-tapping, knowing that you shouldbe napping, .Hasten now to heed my warning,-lights out ere I close the door l I Only this, and nothing more. I Back into my chamber turning, all my soul was in me burning, For she wore a fierce expression that Inever saw before, No parting word she uttered, but a weak excuse I stuttered, And a 2j I muttered as she vanished from the door. Black marks again, I said ere napping, this is why she came a-tapping Only' this, and nothing more. I J.E.B. K 2
