. AWW , .4 ' ' w In every college function we held our accustomed placc, Enjoying every moment-and sustained ourselves with grace. At midyears-time we thought it wise to do our social duty, And asked the college to attend a party that for beauty We think has never been excelled-a brilliant masquerade! With song and dance and stunt and jest and lovely Dress Parade! A party all of hearts and darts was given for our delight By IQI6,S sweet-voiced friend, one February night. To raise some money-needed sore-we gave The Twig of Thorn Again, and most successfully, Cthose snow drifts did adorn The campus in a way to earn the College Club's kind praise D We're grateful to the faculty, who come to all our plays! The Senior Banquet was a great Preparedness affair, Appropriate to Leap Year, With all toasts composed with care. It was a sob-less party, for we felt that such events Are much too gay for us to waste, indulging in laments. And now our aching brows, alas, are marred with aging lines- From dawn till dark, and then till dawn, the weary PINE Board Pines. May-day is now approaching fast, another breakfast gay At our dear patron saint's this year will celebrate our day. Then comes Commencement, and we'll bid the Hill a sad adieu- Good bye, dear College and dear friends- Good bye, good luck to you! ANNE ELIZABETH MARVIN, Historian 1916. M us. BACON' 30

May-day came swiftly after, and in spite of chilly rain We gaily skipped to breakfast at our patron saint's again. On Field Day highest honors were awarded to our class- Oh, how we cheered our athletes as they sported on the grass! The Junior-Senior Send-off, on a night in early June, Was a trip by Portadora, underneath a glorious moon, While later, at the Seneca, the Reading of the Will Is another joyous mem'ry-but the parting, grieves us still! Our finals in Philosophy and Shakespeare gave a name To our stunt on Moving-up Day-then the long vacation came. ni SENIOR CAKE And now we're stately Seniors, garbed in somber cap and gown- Our moral obligations which have won us much renown! We came back Without Alberta, business claimed her for its owng She is gone but not forgotten -we lament our fairy, flown. Three new Seniors from Keuka came to join our class this yearg It has done us good to know them, and we're mighty glad they're here Our Pybie gave a party two engagements to proclaim- The girls named Smith are ministers to feed Love's sacred Hamef' Our officers were splendid sports! The week of Hallowe'en They entertained us in the gym-and scared us almost green! As the guests of 1918 to the Opera House we went, And partook of thrills and candy to our hearts' supreme content. 29
