STAND BY the OLD Town.

ii you like the old town best,
Tell 'em so!
If you'd have her lead the rest,
Help her grow!
When there's anything to do
Let the fellows count on you;
You'll feel bully when it's through
Don't you know.
If you want to make hit,
Get name!
If the other fellows it,
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in the town
Where you pull the shekels down;
Give the mail concern a frown-
That's the game!
If you're use to giving knocks,
Change your style!
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For awhile
Let the other fellow roast;
Shun him as you would a ghost;
Meet his hammer with a boast
And smile.
When a stranger from afar
Comes along,
Tell him who and what we are
Make it strong.
Needn't hatter, never bluff;
Tell the truth, for that's enough.
Join the boosters-they re the stuff.
We belong.

sweet pensive bearing, robed in white and
with hair flowing, and holding an Easter
lily; then there are grave little boys
bearing an altar candle or cross or a
book, and looking very good in their
white cassocks. These were photographs
made for Easter celebrations. One of the
boys is Allan Haskell, another Edward
