(Whose wish--just to think of it makes us all glummer--Is to have no Crimson around in the summer).

Health to Joe Bernal, the friend of the swimmer;

Some nice early copy for brave Lewis Brooks,

And for Francis Burr, some grappling hooks.

A new calculator for Mrs. Senese,

The best of the season to Higonnet, Patrice.

Some more stationery for letter-writer Kilson,
