THE JUNIOR BANQUET. Like all our fellow-students, We '07's had long foreseen The Banquet from a dietanee-. As but a part of a dream. But as it always happens, "All things come to those who wait;" And so the course of seasons, Brought at last the proper- date. May fourth! ohwill we ever Forget the struggle to dress, The effort to be good-looking, To cope, in style, with the best? All is vanity-'tis the truth When of youths and maids you speak; For whate'er the time or weather, 'Tis for beauty they always seek. There's not a sight more pleasing Than that we beheld that night-- Music and joking and laughter, And all things that make life br-ig-ht. Each one was in the best spirits; We ate and we talked, then ate more. There were after-dinner- speeches, Br-ight sayings and toasts galore, Later we sang our school-songs, A.nd we yelled till adieus were said, And we rode back in the moonlight, Happy, contented, well-fed, And to all who have the Banquet As an event that's still in view, We who have known this pleasure, Hope 'twill bring as much joy to you, 67
