This is what the sophs say about the
rush Friday nights:
THE DEFEAT or THE FREsHMEN.
The freshmen one night formed a desperate
plan,
They attempted 10 prove that they did have
some sand.
But they talNod so III CHI aud were not careful
To keep the thing to til cmselyc-, so they had
great fdll.
The sophomore> got onto all OF their plans
And vowed not TO yield To the freshmens de
mAnds;
Their plan was to catch each soph at his room
But To the fresh men sorrow the sophs were
too soon.
The sophs got together and planned with
hush.
To give the green freshmen, regular old
The sophs formed tne.r plans wisely and moth
ing leaked our.
SO they worsted thu freshmen in only one
bout
They had planned, too, to tie each soph with a
string

Their plan was 10 take each one to the gym.
with freshman TO guard on each side OF
him
What they wi,hed TO do there do not for sure
know.
BUTT Is likely they wished to make the sopho
more's bow low:
They probably bad hopes 20 MAKE them perform
And then take thor pictures as they looked
50 for Orn.
But their plans were all worsted they al felt so
cheap.
That they dared not show up a. the sopho-
mores feast.
The suphs had their spread uumolcst"d and
gave many toa-ts
To the sophomore girl- such Jolly good hosts
The spread being over, the boys went home
with their friends:
Not a FREE hmau showed mp, 70 make his am"nda
The scrap is now ended and We need Say but
little.
For those who strapped with their mouths
made such great hzzle.
