CRIMSON AND GOLD And these buffoons did jest well for their lords, So well, that knights did wish to give up swords And occupy themselves in jest, instead, fBut changed their minds when they did wake from For they had seen more jests than pleased them well- Perhaps this one., Once more my tale to tell, This publication up did sprout, And everyone deserved praise did shout. That too was well, and so declared by all, And then our final function did befall, When, at the last, we held commencement here. That, all beheld. The future, not so clear, Stood forth half hidden by the dazzling light, Which now fwith this soft teatj, disturbs our But truly we have cause to shed a teatg Of joy, for we are now relieved of fear, Of sorrow, of a sort, at leaving this, Our one, our only high-school, yet of bliss, Of hope, far more must certes fill our mind, Embarking on green seas with worlds to Hnd! Let us, then, chant a song: loud, free, and gay! Embrace, like sages, the newly dawning day! bed, sight. Page Thirty-.sewn

O., Or doing our addition to the show . Then too, last term, our banquet brought us fame, Which thing was rather nice fso all did claimj. The Echo , then, did end its goodly run, And on this C. and G. work was begun. Our staff was picked far earlier than of old, And what use promptness was can now be told. And we in soccer tourney held the leadg The championship was ours. Laud the deed! And in debating too, ours was the prize. So at our feet fell crowns of goodly size, Nor were they English crowns, pray understand, But made of rocks and bound by golden band. And crowns and sceptres we did wear right well QBut then, of course, of that we should not tellj Again to treat our hist'ry fall that's passedj, We find that we've reached Upper A at last. Our final term, of course, was best of all, And, truly, much of interest did befall. For dance, for show, for pins, the ablest men, QMore promptly than beforej were chosen then.
