THE HESPERIAN The energetic foot-ball man will don his moleskin pants And practice till the other teams wont have a ghost of chance, The dramatic club will shoulder the actor's mighty load And "blow" around the campus how they went "out on the road," And these boys will put on dresses and some arti ficial curls And look a darn sight prettier than any of the girls. The FraLs will work the Freshman and the Barbs will put him through And they'll "work" until its a wonder that he isn't pulled in two. The Glee Club boys will look around for men who have a voice, And put about a- hundred through so they can take their choice, And the boy who couldn't pass in the exam he had to take We say he thinks the Glee Club is nothing but a fake. The Banjo Club Avill practice all the two-steps that are "right," And in every class election there is sure to be a fight. And the girls will go to chapel not to hear the morning prayer But to have the boys all look at them while they are sitting there. The "akward squad" will run around till they arc out of breath, And the commandant will yell at them and scare them half to death, And we'll al! neglect to study for the opening week or so, Just because our brain has rested in the summer, don't you know. Ycf, we've all all got back to college as 1 have remaked before (And this same reiteration is becomin quite a bore) Hut a little wholesome racket is not to be des pised. And if we don't wake up Lincoln I'll be very much surprised. LOCALS. 1 have almost decided to shave my moustache, It scarcely is worth all my pains I'm told by my kind loving friends I am rash, For diverting gray matter from brains. Yours in a lost cause, B. F. Matthews. LAW SOnOOL LOOAL8. "Work commences Monday, October 7th. Now is the time to subscribe for TnE Hesperian. "Billy" Raymond is attending the Col umbian law school. Messrs. Stroman and E. M.
