A Ballad of '86.
No.2.
The Junior stood in the corridor,
And waited for his girl to come.
To carry that pretty co-ed's books
He had waited from twelve to one.
(Imagine his distress, especially as the dinner
jour was passing.)
The cloak room poured for its smiling crowd,
And forth each fair dames came.
(N. B.-The Junior is still standing there.)
To some favored boy each one has bowed,
And the story was 'for' the same.
And now appears that long looked for face.
The Junior's heart beats fast.
At last he will gain his accustomed place ;
And—but wait till you lace the list,
(He is now bracing up, straightening his tie and pulling his mustache.)
With a child like smile he approached the fair.
Extends his hands for her books and more;
When O, for a knot hole through which to sink;
She goes with a Sophomore.
And the Junior retires, swearing vengeance, and meditating on the wickedness of the world, and the softer sex in particular.
