snows.

twenty-dollar piece."

there is something iJcry special going on in chapel,
you would hotter come over here, because there is
something special going on her!."
A LIVING IIEICO.
How doth Prof. Franklin form himself
Into a regimental gem
To squelch the girlish prattle in
The Sombre History Sem!
My many sins are all forgiven
Since Porter wears a star.
The stars shine brighter up in heaven
To vie with Porter's star.
Into the chapel no jam and squeeze.
No serious fall from tho Gym trapeze.
And Land's' breath isn't scented with cheese
Since Porter wears a star.
Prof. Davis has gaudily painted his wheel
Since Porter wears a star.
And Shuff has a natural spring in his hoei
Since Porter wears a star
Kuhltnan makes socialist talks thro his hat
Not knowing salvation and such things as that.
Come only by way of the now "Preacher Frat"
Since Porter wears a star.
Frank Philbrick wears an honest look
Since Porter wears a star.
And Baker sneaks back stolen bookx
Since Porter wears a star.
But I think, to sum up. on the whole
The only matter clear out of control
Is the library sparking pathetically droll
In defiance of Porter'?, star.
My feelings stir in deepest fount.
My soul ascends devotion's mount,
I seem like seer in mountain cleft
Or Patmos hard of flesh bereft ;
From spirit-height to spirit-height.
My God-ward soul holds steady flight
When Davis prays in ehapol.

the rest, looking for books. Tim prof, says I'll
Hun if I don't have my work done in time. The

while his good boys swipe the books from the lib
rary to earn their merits and leave ine to look for
tho books and prepare to flunk.
