THE GIRL IN RED AND WHITE. In this world of toil and trouble There are some things always bright, Which in direful circumstances Are delicious to the sight. But where in all creation Is a vision of delight, A superb combination, Like the Girl in Red and White? Look upon the field of conflict! Look behind the footlights’ glare! In that same becoming costume, Those same ribbons in her hair. That same glorious decoration Any place that it will w'ear. One fleet glance is confirmation. She, in Red and White, is there! Other colors shine forth brililant At the noon of Victory’s sun; But what about the evening When the other fellows’ won? She is there! For us forever! Win or lose, it matters not, The Girl in White and Crimson Will be “Johnny-on-the-Spot!” it to be an unusually enjoyable one. I The new rule of the Seniors was strictly enforced and the dance was’ i distinctively Senior. The success of the dance was due to the proficiency of Jack Figh, its president.
