JUNIOR CLASS SONG.
(Tune—John Brown's Body.)
Come, let us sing the glorious deeds the Junior Class have done
Through six exceeding long and weary courses of the sun,
Of the battles we have fought, and of the victories we have won,
As we were marching on.
CHORUS.—Jolly, jolly, jolly Juniors,
Jolly, jolly, jolly Juniors,
Jolly, jolly, jolly Juniors,
As we were marching on.
Once on a time we all were “Preps,” you won't believe it now,
“Preps” with the stamp of Ignorance upon our verdant brow:
But we vowed that we would conquer, and you see we've kept our vow
As we were marching on.
CHORUS.—Jolly, jolly, jolly Juniors, etc.
What did we in the Freshman class? go ask Professor Snow,
There was not a flower on hill or plain, whose name we did not know
We searched with diligence and found the places where they grow,
As we were marching on.
CHORUS.—Jolly, jolly, jolly Juniors, etc.
We grieved to see the hours of our Sophomore year go by,
When we chased the scarabaeus and the yellow butterfly,
And our Greek roots were so bitter that we heaved full many a sigh,
As we were marching on.
CHORUS.—Jolly, jolly, jolly Juniors, etc.
But we've forgot such folly, and we now would have you know,
That we look with smiling on the things we loved so long ago,
As one looks from off a mountain on a valley far below.
As we go marching on.
CHORUS.—Jolly, jolly, jolly Juniors, etc.

Some time since, Hon. A. H. Horton, of Atchison, delivered a lecture to the students, on "Work." Judge Horton's lecture was full of interesting and wise suggestions concerning the benefits of right down hard work. His words have a deep meaning for students. With them success depends upon brain labor, combined with enough physical labor to keep the body strong and healthy. But to no one does hard work bring a more beneficent reward than to the student. Leaving out whatever of honor or material success may be gained, we believe that there yet remains the best of all, and that is, a real, solid enjoyment in work for work's sake. A plane of life can and should be reached by every student, where luxurious idleness is despised and hard work is loved.
