Oft did the foe before our line-men yield, Schultz, Pepler, Green, and Captain Smith, in yoke, How jocund Dale did drive that team afield! How bowed all players 'neath their sturdy stroke! Full many a belle of coyest air serene- McGuire and Essington and Jopling fairy Still other flowers were wont to blush unseen And waste their sweetness on the desert air. Can we, in pride, deny to these a throne- M. Carpenter, gay Anthony, and Hill, Who by the long-drawn note and swelling tone Did move our hearts with rare Euterpean skill? Far from the madzding crowd, its cymbal, and brass, Superior students ne'er did chance to stray- Harcharik, Soulsby, Mackey, Stotler and Sass- All kept the noiseless tenor of their way. No farther seek our secrets to despoil, Search not our frailties, and no scorn bestow, I.-et not ambition mock our earnest toil. '36, stand by. Class of '37, hello! Vera Green
