Seniors! They fought our games and killed defeat, And won applause and much, attention, And took a part in every meet, And sang in glee clubs to perfection, Raised standards when they found a chance, Made A's not just their fame to enhance, And even spoiled the opponent's bragging By checking his talking With diligent working, And proving to him that they were winning. At last the faculty in a body To the assembly came Hocking: 'Tis clear, cried they, This class is wedded To F. H. S. and its faculty learned. They just won't leave, and seem determined To linger till to the World they're summoned. But we owe room to those coming on! Rouse up! Give your brains a racking, To find the remedy we're lacking! For, sure as fate, this class must be gone. ' fContinued on next pagej 31221512-SE6 l

? is T? nl An hour they sat in councilg When, what should hap, But at the door came a gentle tap. ll Only a scraping of shoes on the mat ? Anything like the sound of a Senior Made their hearts go pit-a-pat! Come in! Mr. Gammill cried, looking bigger, And in did come the strangest figure, Gowned in gray from heel to head, Capped by a turban, which he said Belonged to Masters now long dead. His searching look and serious aspect, Commanded from all the greatest respect. He advanced to the council tableg And, Please your honors, said he, 'Tm able, By means of a secret charm, to draw All students who are willing to work And high school duties did never shirk, After me so as you never saw! And people call me Graduation. CAnd here they noticed, hung from his neck, 241 To match his robe of the self-same check, Q: A leather-bound diploma.J If this class can follow my standard, I'll lead them forth from beneath the banner t Of your colorful orange and black. ' Into the hall the queer man stept, , Smiling first a little smile, As if he knew what magic slept In his little book the whileg F Then, like a scholarly adept, fw He read strange words Of a world wherein great problems lurked. Q Then, there was rustling and a mighty bustling, And twenty-six Seniors came a-hustling ly To answer that challenge the wondrous man sounded, 3 Of a world where hard work yields rewards, unbounded, l And success is based on a good education. 5. -JEANETTE PRICE. l lg , ,t ,1 1 ll ll ha :susan
