When first we trod four years arc,
The halls of dear old Delaware,
We learned to coniugate "Huno,A
To "parlsy- vous trancais, " and bear
The musket on tho campus there.
We spent no time 10 search of fun,
But sought tn crown with honors rare

A year passed quickly by, and low,
As s0phcinores, we took good care
To III the freshman heart with woe
We bearded Brer Wolf 10 his lair,
We flung banner to the air,
On belfry spire it caught the sun.
| And OH its face was printed fair
Our own dear class of Naughty ore.
| We studied more as juniors, though,
| In love or sport we took onr share;
We gave promenade and low,
With II none other could compare.
| And now with laureis everywhere
Our days at college all are done,
But still we love and By her sweur
| Our own dear class of Naughty one.
