Burlingame High School just then the door in Maurice's saloon blew open, and Prowler Doidge fainted from the shock. Hobo,' and Box Car each grabbed one of his shoes and tore out the back door, yelling back that they would see me at Boulder Dam. GPdJUdfIlOH a la Shakespeare By WILLIAM RADFORD To graduate or not to graduate. That is the question. ' Whetlier it is nobler in the mind to suffer the stings and agonies of outrageous flunkingsg Or to arm ourselves to unconditional passing. Ha! Hunking hath great terror in his look. Speak not of such unwanted fate. Beware the Ides of June. The dumb try many times before they pass, The valiant never taste of F's but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that we should fear, Seeing that graduation, a necessary end, Will come when it will come. When flunkers Hunk, there are no good grades seen, The heavens themselves blaze forth the Als of sharks The faculty are bound as well as we, Intelligent alike. Come! Come! Consider well! Thy chance Lies so within their power to decide. If you shall show them that you may not pass, Their minds may change. The quality of mercy is not strained, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the grass beneath. It is twice blestg it blesseth those who give, and those who pass. So smile the teachers on the senior class, And we like friends shall graduate together. E253
