''The Student's Complaint''
" A h ! me, wliat work," the student says and sighs,
That such should be his destiny and lot;
" Tomorrow morn 1 must betimes arise,
A n d work all day, although I like it not."
Next morn rings harsh and loud that waking bell,
Which every morn doth call to work and prayer:
The student heeds it not and snores so well,
That ten o'clock sees him without a care.
At last he wakes and with his wits awry,
Doth slowly tumble out of dreams and bed ;
With yawn and stretch he looks up to the sky,
A n d sees the burning sun far overhead.
"O wretch," he cries, "why hast thou slept so late?
And all thy promised work is yet undone."
A n d so his golden resolution. Fate
Hath turned into a worthless, leaden one.
But work must not precede a void internal,
So to the Dairy Lunch he straightway hies,
And what with "sunnies, "coffee, smoke and Journal,
The time with swiftness and with silence flies.
Then with one mighty, fast and strong resolve.
H e seats himself before his desk and book.
N o longer to delay but to revolve
The mighty work in mind, by hook or crook.
But soon a raven rappeth at the door.
" C o m e in" quoth he, and " W h a t is it you seek?"
" Companionship with thee I do implore,
A great light opera hath come here this week."
Then follows arguments, and pros and cons,
'Till once more gold is turned to heavy lead.
From Parker and from Bridget then he dons
His very best, and work thus leaves his head.
The " S h o w " is good and doth in jokes abound.
And afterwards, as night comes after day,
So sure on " P " street both of these are found
Oblivious of all but " Liz " or " May."
'Tis thus the day wears on from bad to worse,
Nor can hefindthe time in work to spend,
'Till with dejection and a muttered curse.
His energies to sleep he 'gain doth lend.
Alas! this is the tale well-known and old.
Of work intended, worthy of a Saint,
Which oft resolves into but naught, as told,
A n d hence the student's doleful, sad complaint.
On Catching Trains.
AVE you ever, gentle reader, tried to catch a train,—and missed
it? So have I. Isn't it tickling to death? I remember distinctly m y last attempt! I have a faculty for remembering those
screechingly pleasant moments.
O n this particular occasion, as a precaution in order to insure
against any possible delay, I started from m y room in the fourth story front two
hours and a half ahead of time. It was not till I had laboriously trudged down
the fourflightsof stairs that I recollected that I had not only forgotten to pack
some handkerchiefs—a very useful commodity in travel, especially when one's
shoes are dusty—but also m y umbrella. Accordingly, resigning myself, I retraced m y steps up the stairs, and having procured the desired articles once more
prepared to start down. With m y suit case in one hand and m y umbrella in the
other, I stood at the head of the stairs when the idea struck m e that I was losing
time. The idea must have struck m e from behind, for at that very instant I felt
myself impelled forward irresistably and the next lucid moment of which I was
aware, I was on thefirststory landing, with m y umbrella nestling behind m y ear
like a pencil and myself striding m y suit case and trying to realize how I had
taken the curves at each landing. I was soon disturbed in this reverie by the
swish of approaching skirts. I understood shortly that they betokened the
arrival of none other than the female inmates of the house who desired to inquire
of m e if I had heard a noise. Rapidly recovering m y composure and putting on
a smile like a lemon, I assured them I had not.
With them gone, I proceeded to pluck the umbrella from behind m y ear as
well as to recover m y scattered belongings in order to resume m y way. As I
stepped out on the pavement I became aware that there was a gentle hurricane
blowing. It was just such a gale as would gladden the hearts of a party, becalmed in the centre of the Gulf of Mexico in the sweltering noonday sun of the
southern month of June. I had scarcely conceived this idea, when m y hat fluttered away, with m e after it. In order to recover it more speedily, T resolved to
to part with m y suit case which I left on the sidewalk and began the chase. Ten
times did I come within spearing distance of it and ten times did I poise m y umbrella in vain to do so. But the eleventh time, almost losing m y patience, I
steathily crept up to it, stole up to it, closer, closer, until with one m a d bound I
jumped upon it with both feet. A scream of delight burst forth from m y
lips as I carefully extracted m y long lost friend from beneath m y number tens.
I pulled it down securely above m y ears and hastened to recover m y suit case
which I was glad to find had not blown away. Once more proceeding towards
the trolley to the station, I was rapidly approaching the corner when m y attention was aroused by the distant thunder of its approach. Realizing that there
was little time to lose, I urged myself forward with even greater alacrity than I
had summoned for the capture of m y hat. The strenuousness of m y efforts was
brought home to m e now, by the large gouts of perspiration which were beginning to trickle down m y burning forehead and cheeks. Unabashed, I still
plunged eagerly forward when I became aware that a few stray zephyrs had
gained access to the inner folds of m y umbrella, and were busily engaged in
transforming it into a parachute. Resolved not to be outdone by the ruse of
these romping winds, I still dashed forward frantically, when I was suddenly
brought to a halt. After a rapid survey I perceived that m y umbrella had
caught itself behind the lamp post on the corner and refused any longer to follow
me. Without any hesitation I resolved to determine which of the three was the
strongest, m y umbrella, the lamp post or myself. In accordance with this design
I made one mad, vicious plunge towards the car which now threatened to pass
under m y very nose, and clinging with a death grip with one hand to m y suit case
and with the other to the now skeleton of m y umbrella, I prepared for a last,
desperate leap for the passing car which the conductor had allowed to start, not
realizing for a moment that I desired to get aboard. But as I was about to
spring forward like a panther, I inadvertently stepped on m y shoe string which
had become unfastened, and I landed sprawling on the rear platform of the car.
W h e n I recovered from the slight jolt occasioned by this original method of
boarding a car, I noticed that m y suit case to which I still clung desperately as it
hung outside the platform, was rapidly becoming lighter. I discovered that the
the reason of this was that I had been carelessly sprinkling all m y belongings
on the car track. Not losing m y wits for an instant I gave the signal for the car
to stop at the next corner. To show his appreciation of m y prompt signaling
the conductor only brought m e one square past m y destination. Having thanked
him vehemently for his kindness, I proceeded to recover m y goods and chattels.
Ifirstcame upon m y tooth brush, m y socks, old shoes, and the few remaining
visiting cards that the street gamins had neglected to distribute to the interested
passers by. Having restored them one by one to m y suit case, I next proceeded
up the car track to recapture m y underwear as well as the other odds and ends
which had fallen by the wayside. As I reached the former of these articles I
underwent considerable difficulty in storing them away, so determined did they
seem to flaunt in the breeze, to the intense amusement of the spectators.
Though what those persons found amusing in such proceedings I am sure I could
never tell. But what seemed most ridiculous to m e in their conduct was that the
nearest ones of them at least, actually laughed aloud when I recovered to m y
own inflnite delight, the lost lock of m y sweetheart's hair, which I had so carefully tied with a bit of red ribbon and which I foundfloatingmerrily 'round the
only pool of muddy water within a radius of one mile.
Still puzzled at the conduct of these people I walked across the street and endeavored to recall what I had started out to do. Upon recollecting that I desired
to catch a train, I consulted m y watch whereby I learned that m y train must
have left the station just one hour and forty-three minutes before. A n d so I
cheerfully wended m y way back home and strange to say, I affected the journey
without a single mishap.
Moral: W h e n you want to catch a train, start the day before and take your
time ; you're going to miss it anyway.

E F O R E w e pen a word, let usfirstsay, for the edification of our readers,
that the welfare and interest of each and every student of this place,
of every branch of athletic sports, whether afield, afloat, or awry, in
fact of every branch of athletics, and of every blessed one and of
everything in this wide world is grappled so tightly to us with hoops
of uncorruptible steel, that our life-infusing organ is nigh rent asunder when w e see these
same m a n y dear things and beloved ones in any w a y restrained as to their capacity for
enjoyment, or work, or freedom.
Well, w e must be frank, and, lately, w e will admit to have felt an aching sensation in
the region of the heart. A tfirstw e thought it was due to the fact that our circulation had
decreased 3 copies, thus leaving us only a grand total circulation of 34 copies. But w e
soon found out that that was not the cause. N o . The real cause was the utter depression
and degradation of the wretched multitude, w h o were kept in the dark [and hence could

oriental aggregation, the " dulce far niente" potentates, the bright luminaries of the " a

the constitutional Pandora box, and w h o were doing nothing but execrably naughty
things, and enslaving the multitudes, and when they were not doing this, did nothing

A RETROSPECT
AND
PROPHECY.
INCE vv^hen I was bfit a
small boy spending m y
summers at the seaside, it was m y custom
to take a large telescope out on the beach
every afternoon to watch the ocean
liners pass by. Thefirsttime I used
the instrument I applied the larger
end to m y eye and as a result made
things that really were near seem far
away. But I soon found out m y mistake, and great indeed was m y pleasure, when, after I had sighted with
m y naked eye a tiny voliime of smoke,
I would turn m y telescope upon it and
behold a full-rigged ship.
So now as I sit here writing of m y
classmates, of what they have been
and what they will be, I must imagine
having a telescope in m y hand, through
the larger end of which I see the past,
while through the smaller end I see
of us have not been here that long,
but what strong friendships, what great
knowledge of each other have we
gained in that short period. As a
class, the fellows are congenial, as they
are individually, too, and it has been
our great luck never to have had more
than one faction among us.
N o w as we are leaving school, and
breaking friendships, perhaps forever,
it would not be amiss to look back at
what we have done, and to try to
imagine what we will do.
All the fellows have worked more
or less at books, athletics or socially,
and if we can judge them hereafter
according to what they have done
heretofore, I can safely say that old
"1905" is due for a big slice of the
the future.
'Tis but four short years since we

At first we were considered a class
of sleepers, by some who knew no
better, but though our numbers have

It is not m y part to give a history
of the class, it is rather for m e to
apply m y very amateur knowledge of
second sight to the future.
W e have men well adapted for the
law, and I think no less than five are
going to start researches in Blackstone
next fall. As to doctors, I think we
will be the proud possessor of a very
brilliant physician, as one of our number intends taking quite an elaborate
course in that branch.
W e have also a very devoted and
brilliant student of nature, who, I
think, will devote his energies to
"polite agriculture."
One is booked for an electrical
engineer, and as he has had quite a
little experience in that line he should
do.
There is one for w h o m it is very
hard to plan a future. At jiresent he
is traveling under the pseudonym of
"Monsieur Freelance," and it suits
him mighty well. I suppose he will
be found somewhere on this earth,
refining sugar or paddling a canoe, but
he is sure to make a success of anything he tries.
Another has been making vast
researches during the past two years
into the relative merits of certain
beings of the species " equus" and
I think that it is at this branch of
work he will be found. Let's wish
him better success in his "experi-
lives a very quiet young man, but in
spite of his taciturnity, he has probably gained more honors here than has
any student before him. I hear there
is talk of this youth going to the
Philippines and if he does, Uncle Sam
had better keep an eye on him or else
he will own the islands, for he has
never been known to do anything by
halves. For him the broad path of
success is stretching out, and I doubt
not that he will take up the whole
path.
The rest of us will most probably
be engaged in the mercantile business,
making shoes, cigars, clothing, etc.,
but I feel that all will succeed.
It seems strange that m y telescope
should have overlooked one of the
paths, namely, the priesthood, for here
are found many a loyal son of our
dear "Alma Mater." However, I can
find no tracks of " 1905" in that path,
although much has been foretold concerning this by minor prophets.
Classmates, m y closing words are
addressed to you. Whatever be your
station in life, never forget that the
eyes of "1905" are always on you,
and as you have done well here at
school so you will be expected to do
when battling with the world.

"1905."
'Tis time to say good-bye, old boys,
The saddest time of all,
The rooms are vacant, not a noise
Sounds through the empty hall.
Four years we've spent together here,
Four pleasant ones I know.
We've been good friends, we've had good cheer,
But now, it's time to go.
The saddest things on earth to say
Are "good-bye" and "farewell,"
But let us now resolve, this day
Is not our last "farewell,"
But let us come from all the climes
And meet and greet once more,
And talk o'er all those good old times
That were, but are no more.
Let's keep our friendship firm and strong
As they are on this day,
Don't keep each other waiting long
For news when we go 'way.
But most of all when you do part.
As long as you're alive.
Keep bright the memory in your heart
Of dear old "1905."
