lrrnsw is CLASS HISTORY 419235 'Twas in our hardwood seats in school About four years ago, We sat and suffered many a dread, As Freshmen do you know We trembled at the thought of what Some cruel tongue might say. Full well we knew it was to be Our first and blackest day. Of paper each one brought a lot, Enough to last a week: But upper classmen found it all, They were so poor and meek: We very soon became quite wise, And brought a smaller pack: So Seniors had to hunt for cash To buy themselves a stack. Of course, we had a party then As Freshmen do, you know: With lots of games for everyone, And every girl a beau. Our heads were swelled the second year, When Sophomores we became: Hazing Freshmen right and left, We added to our fame. The faculty soon we learned to bluff, And pull down easy marks: Because we made' such class-room hits, They thought we all were sharks. The division of labor soon began, Each member found a trade: , Octa studied, while Jack would loaf, And Red tried bluffing to earn hi grade. Kat McKee began to flirt, And Pick to make the pies: Bill Moler making classes laugh, And Connie alibies. To fiction Wayne did turn his mind, And read of Jessie James: While Walter Muir spent his time In mashing hearts of dames. S In basket-ball we showed our stuff, The tournament we won: We gave the men for many a team, Before our course was run. Old Father Time turned round his clock, And Juniors we became: No class in good old Athens High Has made a finer name. To things more grand we now did turn, And gave a famous play: Both boys and girls the tourney won, 'Tis remembered to this day. A rough-neck party then we had, And started something new: But Mills rolled down the sliding board, And nearly broke in two. Of course we furnished many boys, And ladies too, you know: For operettas, plays, and teams, And always will do so. The teachers then promoted us, And Seniors we became: 'Twas only to get rid of us, We knew full well their game. To Athens High we gave our share, ln each activity: On team, on stage, or in debate, Our members there you'll see. Oh teachers, list ye yet a little, If this you chance to read: Though we have often worried you, With many a heedless deed: E Though we have often come and crabbed, Though we did often tease: Though we would loaf and bluff and cram, And seldom seem to please. Still in our hearts we'll always hold The memory of you: Of all that you have ever done, And ever yet will do. -Lloyd Wagner. g?Q,.s,.f ,Ea
