COLLEGIAN, I9 30 BALLAD OF X PLUS Y There were twa lads sate on a bench And lasses there were too Learning some History, Latin and French Of course some Algebra too. Then up spake one to his teacher A tear was in his eye O, rede me now, O rede me sir, What root hath X plus Y? O teacher, teacher rede me right And it cannot be Wrang I wad be rather in the light Than be in darkness lang. The teacher paused not ower lang To catch his breath once mair, And then his lily-white hands began To pluck his gowden hair. Odds Bodkins, lad, he cried aloud I'll no tell thee nae mair For siller, jewels, wealth or gowd! Within, my heart is sairf' Then up spake a bold student And a right brave lad was he, Oh teacher dear, rede us the truth With thy usual courtesy! Then swallowed the teacher his terrible wrath To his work himself did hie To read those students all the truth Of the ballad of X and Y. -C. W. and A. W. A FAREWELL One fond word before we part, Thou hast given me friends to One long look before we sever- know- This I know, thou shalt forever Friends whose counsel daily given Be enshrined within my heart. Right from wrong asunder riven. May their power ever grow! At thy clear and crystal font Gf Wisdom have I played. Yet, alas, I have not stayed Accept, I pray thee, this poor word To drink my fill as I would want. In payment of the debt I owe To those wfhose joy it is to sow Thou has given me work to do- Their seeds within the unfledged Work in which no insult lies, bird, The easy taskg but to skies Hast thou bid me look anew. -Cc W, -644

ESDSFQ-tO1, enfant, espere-toll -Moreen Broad 4A DE'R FRUH LING Noch einmal kommt der Friihling Die Wiesen werden griin Sind Vogel Von dem Siiden Die roten Blumen bliih'n. Im Wald sich Blatter offnen Cicaden schallt's im Feld Ganz ist der Schnee gegangen Frei Wiedei' wird die Welt. Und glucklich, sind die Leuten Sie lieben all' die Zeit EX enn die Sonne scheint hinunter Auf Stadt und Felde Weit. Die Vogel singen Lieder Die Strome rinnen frei Der Sommer kommt noch Wieder Und Freuden mancherlei. Bleich Tod, es kommt so bald Als Winter nach dem Sommer Und als im griinen Wald Es stirbt die schonen Bllatter- So unter vielen Freunden Mitglieder sterben auch Und all die lieben Freuden Die Mann erhalt so hoch. So haben Sie den Fruhling Und auch den Sommer lieb Eigne Jugendzeit, mein Jiingling Bald stiehlt der listig' Dieb. So Wenn die Blumen freuen Das Herz, so heit und hell Nur lassen Sie es wirken Der Winter kommt so schnell. -John Anderson 5A ...65..
