19 19 SOPHOMORE POEM It little profits a poet born To sit and think and blow his horn, Telling of the dceds of Sophomore days, When certainly each one knows our ways. But lest we forget, it is good and well On Sophomore works for a while to dwell; So get your knitting and have a seat, While you learn of a class that can't be beat. There is Louisa Greer, a Pennsylvania lass; She was never known to cut a class; But she often dreams about "the farm." Says she,"Short boys are surely a charm." Miss Rees of our class, charming and fair, Was anxious to help Uncle Sam "over there," But the armistice put out the light of her hope Of going across seas in a big steamboat. Miss Stewart, the girl divinely fair— She is always smiling, knows no care; She is fine in class, never plays hook Since friends and good times she finds in a book. There is our New York boy, Nelson Thorne, Who for good deeds was only born; He was overseas, and helped lick the Hun; Ah,a fine soldier! He never knew run. Paul Duncan,our little energetic preacher, Is much interested in a pretty school teacher; Paul is our devoted Seminary lad, He never believed in doing anything bad. Among our boys who heard Uncle Sam's call Was Harry Wright,fair and tall; He joined the Colors in the S. A. T. C. Would that we were all happy and joyous as he! Now,the composer of this work is surely some poet; With a little hair on his chin, he would make a fine"goet "(goat). —D.H. H. 32
