SCHOOL SONG KNAPSACK.

Chorus— O I yes we're loyal, to our school so loyal, To our country grand and free and great, Train both mind and muscle, For the right we'll tussle, Keep ourselves, keep ourselves straight We're marching round together, having fun you know, For the body as well as the mind must grow; We'll study harder for it, and be the better too, And try to "keep in line" as we're marching life thro " Cigarets and gum we've banished from our school; While learning is so free no one should be a fool; We'll "do the duty nearest," and strengthen brawn and brain, Who labors well in seed time will reap the harvest's gain. Now we believe the books and doctors all agree, That rum, beer and cider are a very bad three, And we shall do without them, and win the battle too And stand by "Old Glory," ever firm and true. We believe in education for training girls and boys To do lots of work ana make little noise, So come and join our army, 800,000 strong, And make all Michigan ring with our song.

The Spanish Cavalier. (Pat's Pick, page 39.)

1 Sharp

A Spanish cavalier stood in his retreat, And on his guitar played a tune, dear, The music so sweet they'd ofttimes repeat, The blessings of my country and you, dear.
