The grand finale is history. With
Washington on the Delaware ice, we
shake through the study period. Then
Miss Caylor makes her entrance on the
extreme right. By the combined aid of
sweater, Titian hair, and wrought up
feelings she keeps perfectly warm. So
how can she sympathize with people who
are as col4 as frogs and do not have a
perfect history lesson? No sooner has
she started off with the lesson than she
discovers that none of us are excited over
the rigorous winter of Valley Forge. Sheespecially notices Emma Clay, who is bent
over in the aisle tying a veil around one
of her cold ankles. Poor Emma! She
gets warmed up now. As 4 o'clock, that
blessed hour of deliverance approaches,
we awake and shiver with accelerated
speed because somebody is so saving with
coal that there is no fire made after re-
cess.
Woe to those who constructed this
building! Woe to the contractor who did
not know that hot air rises and put the
registers near the ceiling! Woe to-woe
to -O woe to a cold, cold deal!
S. A. L., '14.RAREST OF THE RARE
And what is so rare us a day in June?
Why for the Senior class to carry a tune;
A Junior girl that doesn't spoon;
A Sophomore on time at noon;
A Freshman child not at school too soon
A school teacher not as dry as a prune
A lassie with a skirt as big as a balloon,-
These are rarer by far than a day in June.
M. T., '14.
Have you heard of the Soph called Shirley
Who's in love with a cute little girlie?
At this girl he winks,
When he little thinks,
That some one is watching poor Shirley.
Take mineral water and add to it herbs,
Have it mixed with harsh, cross words;
English wit, the peacock's vanity,
Fresh gathered threat@, a little insanity;
Anger, indifference, a very bad temper,
Courage of a soldier, a desire to remember;
Unusual intellect, no patience to wait,
Loyalty to the cause, malace and hate;
Throw it together in juat any old way,
You will then see the faculty as it is today.
C. H. '14.
'Tis a wonderful class of '14,
And what could the faculty mean
To ever misuse
Or dare to abuse
This wonderful class of '14?
There is a Senior who late and soon
Spends his time walking from room to room,
We lose never a chance
To elude Mr. Vance-
Pay day is always too soon.
