Salisbury, sober, serious, Loves his pipe with deep affection, One who, when the clay is over, And his faithful work is ended, Likes to mingle with his fellows, Likes to enter conversation, Likes to have it reminiscent. 'fSargent is a steady member Of this class that's graduatingg He has plodded through the college In a stern and stolid manner, In a dogged faithful fashion, But his thoughts are oft poetic When he doesn't have to studyg And they say that thatts one reason Why the Union ladies love him, Why he's popular among them, Theres the digniiied Buchanan- Dignifled and military. In his looks and in his actions And on heights of lofty judgment, Deep in serious contemplation, Pondering o'er some weighty matter He goes by life's puns and frivols Which are miles and miles below him He goes by the gentle co-eds Who side-glance with a longing Never seeming to have noticed, Never seeming to have seen them. Sampson is a baseball pitcher. Oft he twirls the sphere of leather, Part for joy and part for glory. He is tall and gaunt in makeup And is famous as a hero For he was the leading Hgure V In the Sampson murder trouble Back a few years, you remember. Have you ever heard of Kirwan- Kirwan who's so slow and solemn, Kirwan with the voice sepulchral, In its hollow intonations, Deep and melancholy accents. Kirwan has a sad demeanor And a smile won't dare come to him 93

L'Then there is old Grandpa Whited With his face interrogative, With his voice so cracked and piping. He can ask more crazy questions In a minute than another, Any other one could think of, He can fire them with such swiftness That the Hrst bounds back unanswered Not until the last has left him. From this end of life's long ladder Let us leap down to the other, Till We tell you of the baby, Wellensick, as are most babies, VVellensick, as he is always. One Who, like all other toddlers, Runs about in evidence Till, perchance, you think you need him, Then is when he's never present. 'There is Charlie Knapp-the knocker- Who has such a monstrous hammer, Not another one could hold it Yet with ease Charles Tyler wields it And they say that he plays tennis, Sois to knock the balls while knocking Knock the balls with heavy racket. Heim is one Who's short in stature, Long in step, and slack on humor, Very positive in manner And he wears a frown forever. 92

E, E. Waltman is chief justice In the niock courts of the law schoolg He is haughty in his bearing And his presence is commanding, So that all the other students Stand in awe and much respect him Even though he came from Tabor. Thus it was he told me of them, Of the ones he best remembered, Of the ones he most encountered. Then the gray of morning entered, Entered and dispelled the darkness, Entered and dispelled the shadows, And the speaker slowly vanished, Vanished like a cloud of vapor To the picture that he came from, To the picture in Pound's oiiice. Thus it is Iive told you of them In the manner that he told me, In the manner that he answered When I asked him all about them. - .av.v .........,,- yt?
