November, 1916 William S. Dana

In the account of the class reunion given in the last number of the MAGAZINE there was an inadvertent failure to mention the class song composed by Asa Wilson Waters and sung to the tune "Co-ca-che-lunk." A few of its twelve stanzas follow:

1. We remember freshman year and Prexy Smith's admonitions ; How as "sophs" we "rushed" pell-mell e'en Parlez Vous" recitations.

2. We've not forgot cane, tall silk hat Prince Albert, and black cravat; Nor chapel compulsory and its bell, 7 A. M. flat.

3. Nor "Junior Dec"; Dartmouth Hotel with Landlord Frary et ux ; Dan Blaisdell's office; Reed, Thornton Wentworth; "Bed Bug Alley" de luxe.

7. Since then, for forty-five long years life s lusty game we've played; And many real puzzling riddles as alumni we've "slayed".

11. For five and forty years, for fair Dartmouth's glory we've "rooted", And again and again for our Alma Mater we've cheered.

Secretary, William S. Dana, Woodstock, Vt.
