THE ACORN li] The English hard we never learn. Or do our composition; Our teacher dear does vow we’ll earn The terrors of perdition. The hist’ry and the: Latin dread Can vex us one bit never: We read them onece—then off to bed— No longer we endeavor. Chorus. IV. And since we never do our ‘‘math,’’ Miss Hewitt’s frowns grow deeper; Oh, oft ske names the meed (in wrath). And makes our lessons steeper. And in the study hours all, We’re noisy as can be, oh— Our actions, shocking, do appall— Oh, such a class are we, oh! Chorus. Vv Our teachers threaten deep and dire, (Oh, do you really blame them?) The punishments we shall require, Tis frightening but to name them! Oh, we have waited day by day, Oh, long have we been waiting; They make the marks so red, some say, Before they send the rating. Chorus. VI. Still Juniors terrify the school With just their pranks alarming: We'll heed not higher word or rule— These Junior days are charming! And still our teachers darkly say How red those marks will be, soon. If Juniors do not change their way, They'll see, they’ll see, they’ll see, soon! H. M. C. ’09.

10 THE ACORN worsted tape fell on Conly’s sgiht, something seemed to snap in his brain, he shot forward in the last ten feet like a bullet and pitched unconscious over the line! Central had won.—R. C. F. THE JOLLY JUNIORS. 3 A time there was when we were. ‘‘serubs,’ A sorry time indeed that, For then we needs must take all rubs In sooth, a sorry need that; But now we are the Juniors great, The Juniors of vast power; Although we’ve risen but of late, Our freedom’s now in flower. Chorus: Oh, we are Jolly Juniors now! No longer ‘‘serubs;’’ No more hard rubs; What fun have we! Our joy’s this key That we are Jolly Juniors now! IT. They give us lessons, piled up high, But we ne’er do much earing; We always play, we never sigh; While they mazed are staring. We only play our time away, If study or recite, oh— We put off tasks another day; We'll ne’er be erudite, oh. Chorus.

THE ACORN Ciass of June, 1907. The high senior class are already making preparations for their final entertainments to be given this term. Owing to the non- arrival of mail from the East, the participants in the senior play were unable to begin rehearsing as soon as they had intended, but things are now well under way and progressing finely. Byron Paul and Fritz Claxton are in charge of the production of the play, and are determined to make ‘‘Tiie Girls of 1776’’ outdo ‘‘The Modern Cin- derella.”’ Owing to an error, the name of Miss Minnie Anderson appeared in the last issue of the ‘‘Acorn’’ as vice-president of the class. Miss Charlotte Brush fills this office, and we offer our apologies for the omission. The senior ‘‘Acorn’’ staff has finally been decided upon, and work has already been commenced. Paul and Claxton were first elected editor and manager of the issue. Both resigned, and Miss D’Evelyn and Monte Haslett were chosen to fill their places. A thoroughly competent staff has charge of the various departments, and the ’07 ‘‘Acorn’’ will surpass any previous edition ever gotten out by the school.
