by taking in the washing of two prominent citizens, T, Kenny and P. Mantz. Senator paused with awe as he looked at the names of these great men, and then passed on with the greatest disappointment. Iris Trimble, the baby of the class, weak and mild and endear- ed to all because of her taking ways, suffered worse than ordinary humans can endure. She it was who married the owner of the St. Louis Browns . As for Margaret Williams, the last on the list, Hogan could tlnd no record of her whereabouts. The last which had been heard of her was On one cold winter's night, when she eloped with a deacon, and disap- peared forever from civilization. Hogan sadly clo ed the book, and as he sat meditating over their careers, the beauti- ful and touching words of Gra.y's Elegy flit- ted through his uneducated mind, The boast of Heraldy, 'the pomp of Power, All that beauty, all that wealth e're gave. Await alike the inevitable hour- The paths of glory lead but to the grave. T, K. and H. M. '14, THAT NEW VVOMAN. 3 'Twas once upon a summer day, I saw a maiden fair, Her eyes were blue, her cheeks were pink, And sea green was her hair. The brows were blackened with utmost care, Her nose no shade at all. With fiery red, her lips were touched, All dressed for the Charity Ball. But stay, for I forgot her gown, Which was important still, Aftho it's use has clauged gt lot, 'Tis now a drape and ilill. 1 Of course this gown was scant at feet, And slit to be in style, 'Twas made of red, and green, and blue, And could be heard a mile. And round her neck, so tall so straight, A velvet band did go. But as I looked I hurt my eyes, lt was the last tango. I passed her by amidst the throng, She was just one of those, lVho sell their souls in vain pursuit Of stylish Paris clothes. A. M. '16. THE TALE OF THE JUNIORS ' Once in the early year With examinations near, Strange things did happen here H I Around the High School ,sl For, on the building fair fl as Floating upon the air, Appeared a blue pennant there, Attached to the ilag pole. 2 'Mazed were the students all On the campus and in hall And they did wonder all, How it was reared there Proud were the Juniors then For it was within their ken To explain how, why and when, It had appeared there I 3 Alas for the Juniors pride, For trouble did preside, And did for them betide, A fate quite tragic. Tho that night with greatest care The Juniors guarded there, That llag did disappear As if by magic. A 4 And now it was only meet That the Juniors pride should fleet, When they learned that their little feat Some shingles injured. And the school board stern and cool, Had forthwith made a rule That who had thus played the fool Be sternly censured. 5 Then the stern professor said Ten cents must by each be paid, For those shingles, or else thy grades Shall be withholden. Then had the class a pain, And sorrow deep did reign, Each countenance Kin vain! Looked worn and olden 6 For slowly, all in time, Each handed out his dime, And then did the Juniors pine, For their grades were lowest, And as thro this they passed, They a lesson learned at last And now thy're a modest class.
