    ow, fellow-students, let us hopefully resign
;elves to our loss, and remember, we arc a
;ss with class feelings—that an uncalled-for
alt to one is an insult to the class, and al
ugh it is not our right in the future to assume
aggressive, yet Russia-like we will push
frontier as far as possible, making Unity
motto and Honor our shield.
Now still in death is this A Prep laid ;
He has gone to n land of eternals hnde ;
His work was done, he no longer could wait
To harken to the Profs with their weary prate
A relic of by-gone days is he ;
Neer will he get on a hard cider spree;
And these last wrods he expressed with a grin
" No more will the Profs dare to rope you in
To rope, to rope, to rope,
Dere to rope you in."
46 Long have you borne with the tyranny
Of rules that say you shan't be free.
'l'o pester your classmate in study hour,
Or fool with the military power.
Soon you'il step in the Freshman's shoes
Feeling like a Sophomore on a booze.
But come what will, be it thick or thin,
Don't let them rope, let them rope you in,
1)0 not, do not, do not
Let them rope you in."

Dust unto dust our comrade must ;
I lis home on earth he fins resigned,
Ills faded form
To waste and worm ;
At last corruption claims her kind
Through paths unknown his soul hath flown
To seek eternal realms of woe,
Till fiery pain
Shall purge the stain,
Of many actions clone below
In that sad place by Satan's grace
Brief may his hapless dwelling be,
Till valiant deeds
And well-earned 'needs
NI: length shall set the captive free
THE FRE
