THE CONOCOCHEAGUE VoL.17 The Kittatinny mountain has arrayed herself in blue, The Valleys all are silfoer as they sparkle in the dew, They lofoe the good old college and the college lofves them too, For they greet her eifry morning clad in silfver and the blue. The Conococheague comes dancing while she wears her silfoer crown, But when she comes to college she assumes her azure gown, She lingers by the classic walks and all tlze summer through She plays beneath the willows, clad in silfoer and tlze blue. The blue birds sing our matin hymns in wood notes clear and sweet, The minnows in,their silfoer coats convoy the college fleet, So all tlze realms of nature wild, and all thatls sweet and true, In science, art and music, lowes the silver and tlze blue.

22 THE CONOCOCHEAGUE VoL.17 Senior History SNTT this the most interesting book? Ilm so anxious to read to the Hfinisf' Remember how it told of the underclass games in the first chapter? , How well they played as freshmen! No, they didn't win the champion- ship, but they did K' beat well. They were drummer-girlsf, you know. And shouldn't we have enjoyed that trip to Harrisburg? Well-I guess! Do you know, one thing that I noticed particularly in that chapter was the fact that that disease i'crushitis is never mentioned. They were immune from it for the history says that they were thankful that no member of their class, so far as was recorded, was ever known to have an undue excitement of the heart, which spent itself, and incidently her father's money, in candy or flowers. Don't you think the second chapter showed their optimism and unselfishness? They were defeated in athletics that year, but they took it all in the proper spirit. That was a right clever play they presented to their sister class, too. It was their first attempt, you know, and it did show some promising dramatic ability. They were the most sisterly kind of children. Mention is made so often of the pleasant evenings they spent at HSouth,l' assisting their most admired seniors in step-singing. The third chapter shows them to have been some fewer in numbers that year. Jolly Juniorsf'-that just seems to suit them. They called their presi- dent Reddy -remember? I wonder if that had anything to do with their readiness for everything that happened to be the order of the day. This was the time when they had their first taste of the delights of the H Prom. I'll wager they got all the pleasure out of that great event that girls could. They were banqueted by the Freshmen, and, oh! we must not forget that they won their second basket-ball championship that year. Didn't I say that they had won one in their freshmen year? Well, they had. but they never boasted, and, as the fact was simply mentioned in their history, I suppose I forgot to tell it. Now We're ready for the last chapter. Shall Iread it aloud? Silence gives consent, so here goes. H We came back in the fall of 1910, with great and good intentions. This year we all lived together in one dormitory, called K South.' HBefore the holidays, our spare time was taken up with athletics, making 'senior money,' preparing for the bazaar and practicing for the senior play. After the Christmas vacation, various other things presented themselves, such as entertaining the faculty, obtaining a man for the 'Promf fThis being our second experience of this kind, we had no difficulty., It was with some misgiv- ings and pangs of sorrow that we felt the end of our college days drawing near. There were so many 'memories,' so much love for ' the Silver and the Blue.' 'Tis finished. My honest opinion is. that that class of IQII was a good old class, and I know they are doing their duty nobly in the world today. As a member of 1915, the present freshmen class of Wilson, I move we toast 1911s-our most worthy predecessor. Here's to 1911 l May success be with her.
