And ali the air a lovely sense to feel;
The birds began to pour their siren
strings
In sweet profusion DER the grassy
plains,
Where golden apples and the vines
deep fruit,
Swing to the music of the winds low
lutte;
And many a blossom holds her cha
Iced lip.
Full toward the radiant Heavens

Here may we lift our faces toward
the blue e.
That melts the lands in many a ten

The sun shall shine above the fer
tile shore,
TIL earth shall cease, and time
shall be no more!
Then sing, o Trojans, and peal forth
your song,
Thrill ye the heavenly hosts and

Glass Song. (Sung by class).
Through Struggles deeped shadow,
Over the way we're tried;
Fought the fight, traVersed dark
night;
Now wave the yictor's rod
"old Amboy High shall stand on the
And proudly swing aloft her colors
true;
For e'er blue sky above her,
For e'er we'll own and love her!
All hail to Amboy High!
"Llfe's golden shores lie waiting
Noble Ambitions sway
May we there all Honor share
To fill life's glorious day."

telling of such experiences, refrain
from ecstacy. But since you are so
DESTROYS of knowing our fortunes,
and briefly hearing our struggles,
though my sou awakens at the re-
membranes, I will begin.
"Our early instructors dishearten-
ed with us, after fatiguing labors Of
eight long years, and being assisted
by their divine skill, built a barrier
the size of a mountain and inter
wove it with perplexing questions.
Some viewed with amazement that
baleful thing, and wondered at its
stupendOus bulk. We asked our
selves, to what purpose raised they
this great exam? Who was the con-
triver? OF what did they intend?
What was the motive? But the Coun-
ell of Learning commanded 1t to be
drawn up, that we might not pass it,
or that 1t might stand in our way to
enter that High Institution. Yet all
examined the great statues and I'M
p%loring the favor of the gods, keep
ly set to work. For a whole week,
we fought madly with those exams.
At length, we pass over the fatal
machines. We were glad to knew we
could now start on a four year Jour
ney, though intermingled with such
trails as we had just passed over.
Thus, having quietly spent the
summer, we revisited our associates.
And here, to u surprise, we found
a small confluence of new compan-
ions, drawn together to snare IL
travels. From all sides they con-
vened, some coming from dear old
number me-, others from number
seven, and still other from the
eight group when IL Alma Mater it
self boosted of such a division; all
resolute to follow with thter souls
and fortunes. through whatever
paths the gods were inclined to con-
duct us. BY this time the bright
morning star was rising on the lofty
crags, and ushering IN the begin
| ming of our new life.
Influenced now by new desires
and fancies as freshmen, we were de-
termined by revelations from our
DDS to go in quests Of unknown
paths Of learning and u~ntraveled
walks; we fitted out a fleet just at
the beginning of our Journeys and
drew our forces together, uncer-
tain whether the Fates would point
the way, and it would be al

ed OF three ships; the Latin, holding
the largest number; the General;
and the Commercial; aIl together we
were a band of one hundred strong.
Scarcely had the first year begun
when our principal as mighty Jove,
gave the command to hoist the sails.
Then with joyous acclamations we
left the shores and as strangers
launched forth upon the~deep.
This being done, and when We
could entrust ourselves to wander
into the right rooms, when every
thing was moving along smoothly,
and our masters compelled us to
work hard with long tasks my mates
diligently navigated the rough wat
ers. For a whole year. we We're
waited from harbor to harbor, and
the studies and lessons passed by.
Then again we battled with another
set of exams. o, those freshmen
exams. Who can tell without sor-
row, how many of our faithful band
they crushed. The result was only
to be seen at some future time.
80 we anchored our battered
ships on the borders of the soph-
omore coasts and after a rest of two
months again set out, but 10! this
time with only two-thirds of our
valiant band. The remainder, those
cruel exams either ruined or the de-
sire to exercise their hands in physi-
cal toll had lured them away.
