' Why We Came to Mfoot Williams L. Stevenson Sheldon Ransom Burdine Pierpont Peden . Brooks Boynton VlBBERTS RlSLEY . Melcher J. Stevenson Simpson Hamilton . Gage . Bain Richards Collens Sawyer Pettengill Cutter Why did I come to Abbot? To break the ice For a change of atmosphere To see the big city To see if Yankees are all they are cracked up to be To be in Choir To ski To learn French Too much radio To see if the life of the school was free and happy To eat an Abbot Special To take Morton Street To grow up and to meet the cultured easterners Just for the Dickens of it See if I could fill my sister ' s shoes Mere convenience For the ride every day It was Abbotized in all the magazines Process of elimination To develop my voice and meet someone my own size To stir things up To make roller skates for backward children Ambition Each day we go to History class To learn if we can that subject pass. With trembling lips and shaking knees We desperat ' ly try Miss Bean to please. With bated breath and pallid face We see the red pencil ' s rapid pace. We always find on every test, Be concise. Few words are best! In every class it ' s just the same. We strive to pass not just toward fame. Ah, diploma, for thee we strive. For thee we labor as bees in a hive. We ever long to grip thee tight And feast our eyes on the glorious sight. For then we ' ll know that we have pass ' d And softly murmur, Ah! At last! 88
