While in fumbling desperation, we surveyed the situation, We concluded that our plight to ease would be a year-long chore. Suddenly there came a ieering, as of someone gaily leering, Look, the Freshmenl someone howled, sneering through our home-room door. That was all , but then came more! How distinctly I remember February to December. 'Forty-seven was the first and worst of the succeeding four. lf we dared to make a blunder, Mr. Weber's voice would thunder, You're so small, it's little wonder! which would hurt us to the core. Pride upsurging, tears emerging, while each face our wishes wore . Oh, to be a Sophomorel Soon our hero-worship faded as The Kingdom we invaded. Freshmen humbleness we traded, Soph'more confidence we gained. As we girls discovered dating, every evening found us waiting For the call that meant our rating was secure. Else sorrow reigned . Life depending, same impending, while indiff'rence each one feigned. Adolescencel Freud explained. Then returned the full-day session, followed by morale depression. Just to give you an impression, here's an average Buchtel day: lYawni Good morning, Mr. Schneyer. Missed the bus. ooooa what a liarl Fell into some muck and mirel still another one might say. l fell sickl fan ancient trickl, so, can l be excused today? Honesty had gone astrayl Now that Senior Year is ending and our graduation pending, All our ways we would be mending, but we find it's much too late. So, in open meditation we present this supplication To the future generationg QMay they heed the words we statei. Modesty of Freshman year ls worth it's weight in gold. Honesty and hearts sincere Are priceless, we are told. Thoughts of wisdom, often panned Are jewels, very rare. Put them all together and You'll be a millionairel
