CED.ARVILLE COLLEGE. Advice To Juniors. And since-from when their class began– The Juniors ne'er displayed As yet a sign of intel1ect, And never may- Thou canst not teach the mindless, 0 my heart, Thou will but waste thy breath e'er thou depart; And yet it is thy duty to attempt, Not pass them by in absolute contempt. Come, Senior muse, and guide my pen aright, Help me advise and lead them to the light. First, Grace and Phil; Oh pause, my muse, take care, Advice is needed where advice is rare. Beware the quarrels, your little daily spat, Be patient, kind, be sweet; remember that. Then Edith Mitray; come, my muse, arise, She will not take it, yet thou must advise. Keep studying s~ience, thou wilt win the prize. Howard McGaffick, gracious, what a name! What needs he yet to lead him on to fame? Hold fast your muse, and fear not retribution, Hold fast your muse from whence comes elocution. And Hugh, beware, your youthful fancy startin' Take our advice, don't rob the kindergarten. Ila, remember others fate, my dear, Professor's fancy only lasts a year. Beware, Ream Shroades, the government to spurn, When guard duty calls, your Uncle Sam is stern. And Harriman, but there, my muse, take heed, He's married; no advisor can he need. To Arthur Dean; watch Bobbie's rapid pace, Le,;t he shall prove the family's disgrace. Lastly DeWitt, but vain is advice there, Oh turn my muse, 'tis needed more elsewhere. Alat>, the six maidens he says he left behind, All mourning for him yet and keeping him in mind. Beware; Oh girls, this fiekle youth is skilled, With man:i an art to charm the heart he's fill d.
