now 0eHf 90 my hoett 10 the old college campus,
When fond recollcctions present It to view,
The ball ground, the white house, the old college
And every loved epot which my college days
knew;
The swift rolling river, the Evans near by It,
The spring Of hot water that bubbled below,
And the old college club huuse, with Prof. Lymer
81 nigh il,
Aud cen the old roll-call, that progresses SO
slow,
That dear hundredth student,
That tone hundredth student,
That great hundredth student
From Hill City, Won know.
Tha. one hundredth student hailed as treasure.
For him oft watched every incoming train,
felt as waited an exquisite plcasure
To know the old roll call would be called ne'er
Again;
One day in the onics sat gently 'humming,
And suddenly heard the old telephone ring,
Twas 1.-The Elder" from Rapid who said he was
coming
To bring that one hundredth whose praises /
sing,
Then here's to one hundred
And new fashioned methods,
Goodbye to tue roll call
That progressed SO slow.
1 recall every joke on each professor in>t,e
college,
AS oft determined my classes to skip,
Nor could thought of the marks which would
measure my knowledge,
Cause me for moment such pleasures to clip;
And when far removed. from the old college
building,
I'D suddenly feel as IL struck with blow,
When Id think of tho zero got for my skipping,
When down town (on busincss) happened to
60;
Then here's to the President,
Teachers and students,
OF our famous College,
Long life to them all.
Composed for the jubilee by "ye scribe. .
Twas glorious jubilee.
Everybody did themselves proud.
Did you ever hear better speeches,
livelier songs or better college yell?
The jubilee day was the greatest day
in the history of Black Hills college.
One result that is plainly noticeable
is the increased amount Of college
spirit and enthusiasm among the stu
dents.
Mr.. John Hall Of Lead City, lately
from England, is our one hundred and
first student.
We are sorry to note that Miss
Bertha Handy, one Of our most popu-
lar young ladies, Las been called to her
home, Grand Island, Neb., on account
Of the serious illness of her brother.
Her departure is universally regretted.
Sickness has been making inroads
in many Of the classes the past week.
The following have been on the list:
Albert Gidley, Lillian Mcdonald,
Eadie Davenport. Fay Lawrenson,
Fred johnson, Jas. Gidley.
The young ladies of the boarding
hall were the happy recipients of a
family letter from our absent brother,
Mr.. V. G. Daniels, who seems to miss
their smiling faces. We are glad to
note that MIR. Daniels is keeping up
his studies and will probably re-enter
in the spring term.
Mr.. A. B. Briggs left on Tuesday
evening for his home in Cambria,
Wyoming. He was called home by
the sickness of his mother. We hope
to see him with us at some future
time.
Quite number of the students pat
Il
ronized the Presbyterian snpper on
Tuesday evening at the soldiers home
and some also had to report the next
morning the violation of the seven
o'clock rule.
Thursday was the day Of prayer for
colleges all over the country. APP
propr:ate exercise were held in the
chapel from s to 9 a. m. and from $50
to 4:50 p. m. Certainly we should be
grateful for the wonderful prosperity
and success which has attended our
college during the past year.
The chapel stage has been enlarged
so as to make room for the Grand
piano.
Students, remember the concert on
Saturday night in the chapel. Stu
dents tickets can be procured from
Mr.. H. B. Hare at reduced rate.
