Campus Poems AN APPRECIATION. THE CADET’S LAMENT. Holds our pres’dent, Our defender, not in splendor. But in trust’ness and in worth’ness. Holds his office. Makes us love him, Bj 1 - his manly and his kindly, Manners, actions, and attractions; Makes us love him. On the campus. What e’er classes, never passes. But he greets us when he meets us On the Campus. I remember well, in years gone by, My sweethearts, young and fair; When to the last I said good-bye. Thought I of no one then so dear. The first one was called Linda, In the third grade were she and I; Many presents did I send her, Still she forgot without a sigh. The next one was my Rosie dear. Many adventures, too, had we; Going out at night, tho’ filled with fright, Strange sights we sought to see. A. and M. STATIONERY We have a fine line of Embossed Stationery, in cluding Class of ’15, Class of ’14, Ross Volun teers, Houston Club and the A. and M. Eagle. We also handle a fmll line of Candies, Cigars, Tobaccos and Ice Cream COLLINGS & AMGELT, Third Tent Row We respect him, Try to show it; he must know it, For he looks it and he brooks it; We respect him. Throb our heartbeats, Not in sadness nor in gladness, But in admiration, exultation, THAT HE IS A MAN. MY ROOMMATE. He’s tall and straight and very thin; He wears a sporty hat and tie; He has a sharply pointed chin, And wears his forehead very high; That he has looks I’ll not deny, Though he’s not worth a Singer’s snap; He will a thief or pauper die— My ROOMMATE is a worthy chap. I go to Sunday’s church with him: He has a meek, solicitous eye, And sings and praises with a vim Which marks his calling very high. Would on his mien we could rely. As with a hymn-book on his lap He heaves a soul’s unburdening sigh—• My roommate is a WORTHY chap. On Monday he’s at class, and then You well may guess his aspect wry; He’s not unlike a sulky hen. And makes the Prof, his coaxer ply. That he’s a scamp, I’d fain belie. Lest I might taste his mighty slap— And I may say—though prone to lie— My roommate IS a worthy chap. Envoy. Though he be far or be he nigh. He knows each mask upon the map. Yet those may be who’d cry out “Fie.” MY ROOMMATE IS A WORTHY CHAP. L-O-N-E-S-O-M-E. There were others, yes, and fair ones. Girls whom anyone might prize, Who in the end to me were “goners,” When they each became a bride. But there was one I’ll ne’er forget. (Young was she, but so was I), I loved her then, and love her yet, But like the wind she passed me by. Oh! those fond dreams of she and I. Curse! Ye gods, the fates of men! The break-up came, and then my pin, For now she loves the other guy. “COKEING.” While through these days so sad and lonely, I sometimes think of pleasures that I’ve had; I think of one that haunts my memory; The thoughts of her still make me glad. I think of when she used to tell me She loved me from the very start. And then would say: “Do you love me, Andy? Now honest, will you cross your heart?” I’ve wished a thousand times since then That I might hear those words once more— That I might again be made happy,— Relieved of an aching heart that’s sore. But I believe that she’s forgotten me, And is now loving someone else To whom she’s telling the same sweet story That once I’ve heard her tell myself.

M stands for maybe We may meet again— BUT E says we’ll each Love another then.” I thought that she would not forget— That she would be too staunch and true. • But things have changed her much since then, And I believe I’ve heard “skidoo.” I wonder if she really cared For the letter I wrote her last. ’Cause I’ve waited for an answer. Until it seems a year has past. But I was only a “fish” then, But now—I am a Sophomore, And have learned a little reason, Well, not for uncle, never more! EVERY THING IN THE DRUG LINE PHONE 66 - E.
