Senior Class poem FOUR years ago—how short a time!— Together we began to climb. Just starting in our high school life; We knew not much of work or strife. Our trials the first short year were few; We liked our work because ’twas new. Kach stranger found himself a friend And work and pleasure seemed to blend. As Sophomores we had to toil. We often burned the midnight oil. Bookkeeping made us all feel blue; We thought we’d met our Waterloo. But though we often were distressed With joy and pleasure we were blessed. Inlookers saw each lad and lass Not individuals, but a class. We worked as one—a unit we ; No other way could we then see To get what we called ease, you know ; We thought instructors worked us so! Class spirit was our greatest boast, Of all the classes we showed most; Our elders said ’twas overdone. While we kept on and had much fun. In our third year—what worse could be. Our one road then branched into three? But we were still a faithful tribe That courses never could divide. ur Senior year is finally o’er. We’ve had more work than e’er before; )ur teachers we have ceased to bluff. They think we’ve stayed here long enough. So now we’re going to leave high school. We’ve tried to follow each good rule. Perhaps we have oft been a trial But one can’t be good all the while. We’ve struggled on until at last The high school days for us are past. One cannot guess how short they’ve been, Until he’s reached the last of them. We’ve won many friends in these few years. How can we leave them without tears? We’ve loved to linger here together. But now farewell—perhaps, forever! G. M„ ’IS. [201

THE PURPLE AND GOLD ( FORGE MKDWAV, in love with General Baltic’s only daughter Ada, encoun- J ters many difficulties in pressing his suit. His mother, believing her husband. Captain Medway, drowned, marries Bones, an undertaker. Shortly thereafter the Captain returns, followed by Cleopatra, a colored lady, who by virtue of a sham marriage, calls him her husband. Each new development causes a series of new shocks, which finally leads George to exclaim to his sister: “Parents! They spring up like mushrooms—we can never be orphans!” During the ensuing struggle to disentangle the complicated domestic imbroglio, Cleopatra finds a mash in Bones. Ere long the Captain and his former wife are reunited and the General becomes reconciled to George, his prospective son-in-law. The final satisfactory solution of the whole snarly problem brings lasting felicity to both old and young of all concerned. .
