Where every teacher is the best 10
be found,
And where students attend from all
around.
Z Dear lovely school of happiness and
joy,
Where their is knowledge for every
girl and boy:
How often have we pondered Ger
all thy books,
And studied so hard in thy rooms and
hooks,
How often have we smiled at thy
Freshles" gay,
Thy sly soph and his sophisticated
way,
Thy proud Junior, and thy Senior
so bright,
Thy faculty, thy alumni, in whom we
delight.
On these, thy charms, we love to
dwell,
And it'll be with sadness when we
say, Farewell.
The following is the composition,
written in the Freshman position
contest, by Edith Stout, which won
second prize. We have been unable
