Her thoughts are deep in the classic past, She only thinks of A. B. at last; She has fled this world and its masculine charms, And a refuge found in Minerva's arms. Now the kind of co-ed that I describe Is a co-ed seen very rarely; The real co-ed's a thing of grace, With dainty figure and winsome face; She walks and rides, and she cuts, mon Dieu! But every professor lets her through; For her each year is a round of joy, A. B. means nothing if not "A Boy," And you and I must yield to her charms, And take the place of Minerva's arms.

O'er thy walks the elms are bowing, Alma Mater, Winds 'mid branches softly blowing, Ivy round thy towers growing, Alma Mater. Though time may prove the pleasure fleeting, No hour is sped in vain. True hearts behold the future meeting; Our friendship cannot wane. Of thy care forgetful never, Alma Mater, Bound by ties that naught can sever, Still to thee returning ever, Alma Mater. And while the hills with purple shadows Eternal vigil keep, Above the happy river meadows In golden haze asleep, May thy children thee addressing, Alma Mater, Still with grateful praise unceasing, Speak in loyal hearts thy blessing, Alma Mater.

I see the plumes of forest kings From Sierra's snow to plain; God's amphitheatre tier on tier, Where Pine and Redwood reign. What sapphire sky and purple mist, No Italy so blest ; O vision of Hesperides ! Land of the sun-down West! What inland seas of golden grain, What vine and orange tree, What flower-set banks and poppy hosts, What summer reverie ! What carnival of sunny hours, And lull of drowsy noon, An Indian summer's dream is mine In the golden afternoon. The sunset lights a Queen of Bays A thousand flags are flaunting; The world's afloat! and East and West Salute with colors vaunting. Oh, what a royal red is where Yon western sea lies dreaming! And through the Golden Gate flung wide The sun-down light is streaming. The sun's last sheaves are caught in the leaves Where Oak and Pine enfold, And mile-long level spears of light Break to a dust of gold. What spires and column-crests are those The sunset light hath kissed? What temple-top is that whose base Is veiled in violet mist? What city that all wrought in white, What halls are those I see ? 'Tis reincarnate Athens built By Balboa's western sea! Oh, what a reach of colonnade And domes to prop the sky, And porches welcoming the world To truth that cannot die ! Thy steeples climb to Heaven's height, To lift mine hope as far; Thy finger-spire doth point the way To yonder God-built star! LESLIE M. TURNER, '03 From 1903 Elite and Gold.

A tumbling wind careens across the grass, Chasing the dead leaves here and there in glee ; Or else, in empty whirling columns free, Forming them in one mad, round, dancing mass With savage mirth. The twilight breathes a silent, waiting drowse; A few leaves curve down gently here and there, In the clear coolness of the evening air, From the great oaks with massive, up-flung boughs And mighty girth. Each night, though winter has not yet begun, Drives the sharp frost still farther in the ground; The grass with thicker white each morn is found And this soft covering, melting at the sun, Is snow at birth.

Boars and peacocks, shell-fish, too, All were dainties, while a stew Made of oil and bitter brine Was as welcome as their wine. Vainly often do we seek English words for dishes Greek, While we say: "What dreadful food Did the Romans think was good!" If some poet living now, Knowing what we eat and how, Should commit it all to rhyme To the girls of after time, Mention "Deacon Porter's hat," "Freshman's tears," and add to that Praises of those dainties three, "Wiggle," "Mud," and "Mystery." Should he sing in such a strain Future maids might seek in vain For the meaning, while they'd say, "Strange the tastes of yesterday!" R. K. K., Aft. Holyoke. Here's to the Freshman, verdant and green, Here's to the Sophomore, naughty, Here's to the Junior, fair, youthful queen, And here's to the Senior, so haughty. Toast with your glasses, Drink to the lasses, We'll warrant each proves a delight to her classes.
