Since the examinations by the State
Committee, many of the Seniors have
had severe attack of swelled head at
this time of the year, prevalent but
not very dangerous malady, and as
consequence their hats are all to small
for them. These hats are left to the
College Preps. who it is hoped will not
fail to wear them as they will aid in
sealing that book of complacent im-
becility so peculiar to the Preps.
TO the aforesaid beloved Juniors we
bequeath all the cranks, long faces,
and sour dispositions in our class, for
when we leave here and go out into
the world, we want to scatter nothing
but sunshine and happiness all about
us.

Not by the MUSES. blest,
But with heaving breast
Into this service press't
Come to greet thee:
was no genius DOlu,
Naught but of Normal mold,
When by the Seniors told
This tale to write thee.
Cold did my heart glow then,
Wild rushed to my den,
There seized my old stub pen
Proud of its glory:
| Then came there unto me-
| Thoughts of the eighty-three-
Spirits they seemed to be-
whispering their story.
Then from those spirit eyes
Pale flashes seemed to rise
Straightway deep voice cries,
go, scribe, remember
This tale Of ninety-one,
| The fame this class has won
The deeds that we have done
Since last September
''For all these deeds so bold,
Our wisdom manifold,
Must now in song be told
As we have taught thee;
Then see that in thy verse
