KING-VicefPresident LOUIS ROYAL-Treasurer .ii Ediwridl The praises of our Freshman band have oft been sung before, And doubtless you have heard of us in merry days of yore. But once again we make our bow, and trust that you know Well That another introduction fits another personnel. Miss Pierson is our President and Editor:in:Chiefg Her standings make us jealous, though her record here is brief. She cracked the High School shell one spring in classic Sycamore. Then wielded Well the teacher's rod o'er pupils by the score. The next in rank is Mr. King, our young Vice:President. A dozen years of early life in Massachusetts spent, Chicago claimed his presence in her crowded thoroughfares, And though he hails from such a place he doesn't put on airs. And now we introduce to you our friend, the worthy Scribe, Who has a wondrous faculty for making Greek verbs jibe. Perhaps Miss Blanchard's innate love of music's joyous powers Is due to sunny woodland romps in childhood's happy hours. The keeper of our bank accounts is not unknown to fame, For Royal is his lineage and Royal is his name. A sturdy Wolverine is he, from Cascols moaning pines, And now a trusty treasurer of Freshman gold, he shines. The other names, says Editor, are all this page vvill hold. He's right. The stories of our lives had best remain untold. Miss Mabbett and Miss Frederick-these are the names-read well- And Messrs. Nelson, Paine and Ross, Vaughan, Bickford, Ferry, Snell. And now, kind friends, our tale is told. If e'er you see our name Inscribed in Honor's shining book, or on the scroll of Fame Remembe l ' ' , l r, we are aying Character s great corner stone. The building with the iirmest base survives, and stands alone. I S. HUGH PAINE. 24:

WELCH-Treasurer EdiI0l'idI Hitherto when the term Sophomore77 has been mentioned it has been customary for Juniors to assume an air of sneering, supercilious superiority, to cock one eye knowingly, and to smile, ever and anon, a self:satisfied, compla- cent, condescending, at peace with all the world sort of smile, and for freshmen near the end of their incipiency to frown dark, direful frowns boding no good to their superiors in wisdom and knowledge, to puf out their cheeks, contort their faces in rage, swell with animosity nigh to bursting, and to concoct cun- ning slanders and base plots against the objects of their envy, looking to their overthrow. But now all is changed: freshmen and Juniors alike are proud to bask in our smiles. We are the elite. Despite our idiosyncrasies we take the ca--, that is, I mean-we hold the palm for brilliance in every department of human activity. In brief, modestly, interrogatively, what would the college do Without us? We play baseball, we are orators, we are musicians, we are writers, we are related to the President-the summum bommz ei sine qua non, i. e,, sign o' gettin' on-we study, we are exemplary in our conduct except . '. . and so forth, and what can be added? Vale. Vale. 23
