None so liliiicl as those who look backwards!
Sh-h-hdi h-! Listen to tho Indies spring alt ire I
It is now oflicially given out that tho Junior Ann

A G1K1.S OYM TICKKT l'LKASK.
I've worked up stand ins all the year,
And worn my best clothes neat and trim
Now at the 'leventh hour I fear
I wont get tickets to tho Gym.
Oh! heavenly girls, divinely sweet,
Big sugar-plums in nectar drowned,
I'll ever praise your charms complete
If yon will sond a ticket round.
And as I wateli in calm repose,
The incantations you begin,
I'll pray that "Cap" cannot catch Hose
And ShutY and Howard stealing in.
EXTKAVAOANCH HIS SECOND HAT.
When the rawest of Freshmen come hero in the Jail,
And the Juniors return with eclat, (ha ha)
And the Sophomores have grown into Juniorites tall
Prof Hessey will wear a new hat. (ha ha).
His old one is narrow of brim;
His old one is frayed round the rim;
Its colors arc faded,
For tields he has raided
In mist and in rain.
,Onee it was trim;
Now it is plain
'That Prof. Hessey must purchase a new hat again.
When that old hat was new, 1, a Freshman would fret
, And my purse it grew thinner while thickened my
fears;
It would save us all sorow if we could forget
The hats we have bought in four years.
For up in the dust on the old attic iloor
Are hats bought on trust half a dozen or more,
And golf caps galore,
Iu all half a score.
And fast come the tears
J As I think with regret
Of the shekels I've let
Slip away in these years
For more hats it appears
Than a Prof, needs to get.
