-1 Old Rose and White 'Violet SffiC6t5 N AMELIA A. P1ERsoN-President i CLARA L. BLANCHARD-Secretary LEONARD B. 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:
