Chorus : Oil, Wieneke’s a lanky lad, When on detectin’ bent; You’d lietter hide if you’ve lieen bad, For lie’s our President. So here’s to nineteen-sixteen’s class, And to old E.H.S., Whose every lad and every lass Is sure to win success. Sure, Gladys, May and Margaret Are lovely girls, ’tis true; Emanuel likes the girls, I’ll bet, And Bessie’s aye true blue; Arrali, Marion Brown and Amy Love Are always strong for art, And Amy, too, in literature Most ably does her part. Chorus : Oh, the Seniors are a studious lot, With talents not a few, When we get through, as like as not, We’ll till a book or two. So here’s to nineteen-sixteen’s class, And to old E.H.S., Whose every lad and every lass Is sure to win success. Sure, last of all, there’s Elsie Kuehl, A very worthy poet, Though, in my heart, I truly feel That you will never know it. So now you know the Seniors all, A mighty class they be, And when they answer to Life’s call. Let’s give them “three times three.” Chorus : Sure, our boys are brave, our girls are fair, The fairest in the land, There’s no class that can compare With this most glorious band. So here’s to nineteen-sixteen’s class, And to old E.I1.S., Whose every lad and every lass Is sure to win success. 19 —Kusie Kuehi..

Song of the Seniors Air:. “Wkakin’ o' the Green” Whist, Seniors dear, and did ye hear The news flint's goin’ round? There's Clifton, John and Rollie Reid That’s nowhere to be found; ’Tis leap year, faith, and in the hall Three girls at them did smile,— They dropped their books, and hats, and all. And ran for half a mile. Chores : Oh, our boys are brave, our girls are fair, The finest in the land; There's no other class that can compare With this most glorious band. Sa here’s to ninteen-sixteen’s class, And to old E.H.S. Whose every lad and every lass Is sure to win success. Oh, Esther likes her own way best, And Nora is beguilin’, And Catherine’s full of laugh and jest. And Ryan's always smilin’; Don, “Nook,” and Willard, all and each, As athletes always shine. And Bill, he makes a dandy speech, And I Leonard argues fine. Chorus : Yes. he argues lnog and fine, my lads. And kills a lot of time. Which always pleases his comrades,— Redad. it’s worth a dime,— So here's fo nineteen-sixteen's class. And to old E.H.S., Whose every lad and every lass Is sure to win success. When Hilda, Florence, also “Dot,”— Most popular all three,— Decide the class should all be shot, Then shot we’re sure to be. Fern Olive is a noisy child. And Delia is another. The Irma's both are easy riled,— Sure, one is worse than t’other. 18
