All over the campus foi the past
two weeks it had been reported that
the Seniors would have class day on;
Thursday, March 7th.
The clever Juniors put their heads j
together and concluded that the Sen

The next stunt came off Saturday
morning in chapel when the Seniors

their caps and gowns were presented

But to make it all the funnier,
That fossilized brain was far too

To even dream it was a joke,
So she let it pass without, a grunt.
There is a Junior who can tell you
IIow she, with a freshman's aid,
Slipped a key while eyes were turned
And made nails anl locks of no avail.
How that Senior loves that key
Now over her heart is tissue bound
She wears it as if 'twere a charm
To keep the Juniors from her gown.

Others of our Seniors are just as 1 ad
One can boast of what she's heard

a time when man is called upon to
stand up for his ideals and defend
himself, even though lie be ever so
peace-loving and desirous of peace, lite
honor bids him x\ h<;t his sword and
prepare to defend those things most
sacred to his heart.
Hear me Juniors. Rally 'round the

lion Seniors charging you with things
untrue, stand up and to the last

They are only the colors of the Jun-

People, 1 call your attention to the
two colors which represent the Sen-
ior Class. The boast of the class;
the pride of the class; and too, truly
typical of the classj- the purple and
yellow. ^ ^
We Juniors are peace-loving, lav,
abiding, thrifty, energetic and have
lots of pep. But do not for one in

fend ourselves. Ah! to even put one

sign in presence of„disease; in this
this case of brain disease, we suppose.
Yellow has other uses as bad. A mat:
who is cowardly is said to be yellow,
or to have a yellow streak in him.
Now we would like to know for which
one of these colors the seniors employ
their yellow. Purple is always
used to denote fear—Seniors tremble
when they see the Juniors. But when
purple and yellow are used together
as colors we can invent no term to ex-
press the class that adopts them.
Therefore long live Kelly Green

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY.
In Venice there is a "Bridge of Sighs'
Over which, if a culprit is lead.
He never returns, but there he dies,
And is laid away among the dead.
Under this bridge there flows a
stream
Dividing of life the brightest dream,
From the dark and dismal, silent
room,
Where many mortals meet their doom.
There is a bridge in. college life,
Dividing the first two years pv. strife
With mathematics, Latin and Greek,
From philosophy and art antique.
It has been said by sages wise.
That across this bridge there lies,
Not victory that often falls.
But loss of glory for classes all.
