16 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY Oh ! what a hunch we have at school, Of fellows that laugh, play and fool, Wise guys that laws do ridicule, Crackwise in the halls and vestibule Just sit idly in class and sleep Receive their warning slips and weep. Excuses they do always find, N ' er admitting weakness of mind, When out into the world they come Their real troubles have just begun, A mistake was made they realize. Oh ! why alas, weren ' t they more wise ? Take advise fellers ; buckle down, No night life and hanging ' round town. Show all the world what you can do; Your diploma belongs to you. Anonymous F orlorn and forsaken, R eady to die, E ven the proudest S ubmits to a sigh. H eaven helps some, M an does the rest, A s for the Freshman, N ine-tenths do their best. Doris A. Claflin, ' 30
