The Exploit of the Seniors.
Tli * seuiors dignified as of old
St/v-i-j , that iiighl. nut in the cold
Wntchiug aim wailing for Sclpio bold.
But alas , that senior was cangtit in the act
Ofwhat he thought was a beauii ful tacc
Of releiving the girls from that tart'j attack.
Then Scipio creeping around the house
As silently as a ittle grey mouse
Broke the silence with his powerful voice.
At the same time Clinton led the uirls
\Viththelrlittlebrown locks and pretty curls
To what was supposed to oe a shelter.
Th ° n one of the uirls who thought she could tell
About where the laud rose up and fell
Suddenly fell into a cellar.
The north wind blew
And the taffy Hew
As the seniors were defeated.

It seems that the seniors in their at-
temps to conjure up a blizzard for an
English theme , succeeded beyond all
expectation and conjured up the real
thing.
The Juniors suggest that the degree ,
Dr. of Philosophy , be added to the sen
iors at commencement time. We shall
have to admit that the Juniors are moi-e
discerning than we had formerly sup
posed.
And it came to pass on the fourteenth
day of the third month that the juniors ,
which arc the class of ' ( KJ , made a feast
and called it a taffy pull , And about
the eighth hour when they were all as
sembled in the dwelling of one Irviu
Query , a devout man , it came to pass
that they boiled molasses and sugar to-
gethei and called it taffy. Now wheii
the seniorshicharethe scribes and
elders of the high school , heard these
things they were moved in spirit and
said among themselves , "behold , is it
lawful for these juniors to have a taffy
pull in this season of Lent ? " Jt is not
lawful. And the seniors wrapped
themselves in fascinators and overcoats ,
because the weather was inclement ,
and went forth to rescue the juniors
from their transgression , and the taffy
from the juniors. And it came to pass
tuat when they had come unto that
place , they peered in at the windows
of that Louse and saw the juniors stir
ring the taffy. But they had patience
and waited until that they should set it
out to cool. But because that the dog
was fond of taffy the juniors dared not
set it out. Therefore the seniors said
among themselves , ulet us cry out with
a loud voice , fire ! And when those
wicked juniors shall be assembled out
side the dwelling we will rush in and
seize the taffy. " And when those
wicked juniors heard them thny were
sore afraid lest their vanity had brought
down upon them a consuming tire.
But there Was one among tiieui named
Cloyd Quigley , a mere youth who was
more brave than the rest , and he
cried out with a loud voice that it was
the seniors and not a visitation of
wrath. But the seniors got no tatfy ,
and itas good what theie vas of it
and there was enough of it such as it
was. But the juniors cried out with a
loud voice , ' 'an eye for an eye and an
overcoat for a--piece of tatfy , " and they
seized the overcoat of one Mr. Collett , a
devout man and a solid geometry stud
ent. But Miss Hesa cried out , saying ,
"part not the raiment , " and they for
bore. But there was weeping and
wailing and would have been a gnash-
iug of teeth but that partially masti
cated taffy prevented it ,
