EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
» Pound we there a feast in waiting*, Watting for the hungry Freshmen. After feasting, long and joyous, We had toasts by many members, Telling of the deeds so glorious, And of many brilliant prospects For a class of such brave people. Then the hall was cleared for dancing, And sweet strains of mystic music Br >kc upon the listening ear, Guiding all through merry measures. Suddenly a cry resounded: "We have found you. great and noble, No one knows us, no one heeds us, Therefore have we come to try you." Then the door flew open swiftly, And three Sophomores stood before us Trying to look brave and valiant, But t'was plain they trembled greatly When they saw our sturdy leader Calm and cool, advancing towards them, And they turned and fled in terror; But alas, it was too late, For without there stood policemen Waiting to receive the culprits, And they marched them to the guard-house, Where the key was turned upon them, And for many hours they lay there, Till their friends took pity on them. But the dancers nothing daunted, Still enjoyed their sport so gleesome. Till the signal for departure Bade them leave their games and dancing, And homeward turn their faces. In the dawn of early morning, Reached they all their Alma Mater. MARIANNA GKKKN. * •
