Oh well for the studious "Grind," Who couldn't afford the time; Oh well for the freshman, too. In his innocence sublime. And the train that carried her back, Though her memory lingers still; But oh for the sight of next month's check And the touch of a ten-dollar bill. Broke!. Broke! Broke! The tale is as old as the hills. The Hop is over and the fun is past But now we must pay the bills. —Contributed. Lost during Round-up a pair of in a black leave at See's gold bowed spectacles case.
