DON’T GET GAY.
As you face the giddy world, young friend,
don’t ever try to hide
Your sense of noble manliness and con.
scientious pride;
Hold up your head in fearless wav, look
duty in the face.
And in the field of enterprise strive hard
to set the pace.
Be independent in your acts, but never
crow too loud,
Put forward every honest trait with
which you are endowed ;
In carving out your course in life fear not
to ha ve yours say,
And say it independently, but
don't
get
gay.
If you by fortune have lieen blessed with
talent more than those
You meet in life’s unequal ranks, don't
tread u|M>n their toes,
And if at education's fount you've liber
ally drank,
Pray don’t imagine you’retheonly turtle
in the tank.
Conbine your manly dignity with mod
esty anil grace—
A watch is never valued by the glitter of
its face—
Remember, like your fellow men, you're
but a house of clay
To crnmbleinto dust again, so

gay-
Though as a sparkling jewel in society
you shine,
Though flatterers may tell you you’re
just awfully divine,
Though pretty girls may flood you with
their ever-ready smiles
And strive to hold you captive in the net
work of their w iles,
Don't think you are a demi-god of semi
human birth,
Don't think von hold a mortgage over
due upon the earth,
Don’t tilt your nose too (loftily or some
time they may say
You’re more the peacock than the man, so
don’t

gay-
The world admires a manly man of in
dependent thought,
A man of nerve and enterterprise with
vim and vigor fraught,
A modest man content to be accepted at
his worth,
But not a self-important cuss who thinks
he owns the earth.
Don’t try to make the |»eoplc think you’re
wit and sense to burn,
That what you don't already know ’tis
not worth while to learn;
In setting in the game of life you’ll make
a winning play
If you but use good common sense, and
