The Mort er Board. Solemnly into the chapel Walked the Seniors with digniied treadg Each figure a long gown encircled A mortar-board crowned each head. The freshmen with eyes full of Wonder Looked oft from their hymnals away, And e'en 'mid the prayer so impressive Their glance to the Seniors did stray. Said one timid maid to another, As loudly the morning hymn soared: Could you tell me the reason, I Wonder, Why each on her head Wears a board? Why surely, the other responded The reason is certainly plain, By the time you've become a grave Senior Youill need one to keep down your brain. To Lxeo. September, 298. Flap to me only with thine ears, And I Will Hap with mine. Give but a Wag of thy bushy tail, To that thy joy confine. For thou'rt the dog, the unruly beast That bites me from behind, And I must biff thee, tho' I would To thee be truly kind. I gave thee late a hearty cuff, Not so much hurting' thee, As hoping that thereby thou mighst Hereafter gentler be. But thou didst only biff the more, And jump upon my spine! I Would thy puppy days were o'er, Thou Woolly-skinned canine. A. R. G. '00 '01 and M. P. '01 Louise de Frees:-A few nights before the 1903 banquet H Girls somethings up.
