vU y vVJ J, 'Try' r n ADVICE mm mm TO JUNIORS mm 1 My duty is to give advice To all the Juniors sweet and nice, To all the others who will read The things which they so badly need. The first advice will treat of love. The greatest thing here and above; The strength of which can give you pleasure, And often win a human treasure! What e're you do keep this in mind. That love will never stay behind; If you are there, love will be near; If you are there, love's never rare; No matter where you sit or stand Love has a home in every land. So much of love my honest friend, 'Tis all that I shall recommend. And now we turn to our dear teachers— The wise, the good, and faithful creatures, And beg that you would treat them well As that gives meed—Your grades will tell. And woe to them who do offend By saying they did not comprehend, But when it comes to simple facts Their comprehension totally lacks. And of the Freshmen we shall say Though they are just as green as grass; That’s natural for a Freshmen class. Sacrifice your joy and sleep For your lessons, which will reap Such harvests of glory and meed, In such a marvelous grand speed That you will stop and look amazed And see wisdom’s level raised. No stress too great can now be laid On a sacrifice for wisdom’s sake made. And again we repeat that you learn, For wisdom has the power to earn The things that your hearts desire— And give great victory in every strife That comes along in worldly life. We started with love, we'll end with love, We’ll drown every trace of hate. For hate is below, but love above— And now fare-well my mates. MORITZ G. CLAUSING. (Page Thirty-two)
