Gil-Blitz nf the Svvniur Gilman Listen, my schoolmates, and to you Illl tell Something before the parting bell. 'Tis only a poem of scattered school lore, Listen, I beg you, I'll tell it no more. There is a boy in the Senior class, his heart is given to a Senior lass, And them together, youlll always see, Lis Russell Martin and helen Losee. Two more Helens in this class you'll find Our Helens with their wonderful minds. l-lelen Carroll and helen lvlarder, We all admire your valient ardor. Among the boys, is Maurice Cheek. By no means is he lowly and meek, And with Babe is Stanley Metcalf, Did he ever fail to make you laugh! There are two Dorothy's in our class No one doubts but what tney'11 pass, With the Dorothy's is Julia Cosnahan, And little Frieda-who for youfll stand. Moseley Pritchett and Fred N. Palmer Both get their lessons sans a murmur. John Lobdell and Charlie Cohen, too, Have surely proven themselves true olue. And say, do you know our Eula Yost, Who sometimes studies her uttermost, But in Economics with all her might, Laughs and giggles with Sarah Wright? Then there's our annual editorf-Lewin. If he thinks there's trouble brewing He quickly picks out Shor.y Moore, And that old trouble is seen no more. And now as down the list we go, We find Sue Thornton, and dear old Jo. These two, with their chum Mozelle, Form a friendship of which I need not tell. In M.T. are Robert Perry and Earl Paige, They are magnificent, when in a rage! Robert McAlpine's friends so true, Are Burns and Byron and Shelley, too. Ethel and Carolina, I will confess In History class get in a mess, Kathleen and Vivian, too, I fear, Don't always escape entirely clear. Thus Bessie, Peggy, and poor Marie Also come in for their share of the spree. Hubert must enter this part of the list, For him, Miss Green has seldom missed. Puqe T14 enfy two At the head of the stairs are Frances and Clive, We know their aims, and how they strive. About hall way down, are Blanche and Thetis, They are two who always greet us. At the foot of the stairs we find, Bert Culp, and also Bert Elfenbeln. in the Forester office, are Ed and Chas., 'IXIIESS two we never rind in quarrels. By the lockers is sweet Bonnie Lee who true to Emma will always be. Gertrude Tebbs and Thelma Starr Good times they will never mar. As further through the halls you roam, You run into our iriend Jerome. Jerome has a curl-but so has Tommie So into this verse goes Tom McAfee. Adeline and Justine, in 208 Usually fear and dread their fate, While Vera Turner and Goldie Forman Earnestly discuss the life of a Morman. And now, with truth, we can only say, Don't ever forget Nyma Pearl and Fay. Neither could we e,er omit Helen Williams or Katherine Swift. Clifton Blackman and Howard Boone 1-lave hitched their carts unto the moon, While Elihu Berwald and Gerald Jones Delight in rattling their dear old bones. Irma and Minnie and Ruby, too, Are to us by no means new, But with Lina Skaggs and Margaret Many times with us have met. Daisy Gentry and our Mattie Ruth Are next in this rambling poem of truth. Carrie Adams and Alice itoos come last, And now from pity, l'll travel on fast. In our class there are seventy-one And in our hearts are omitted none. These verses, I trow, have rambled too long, So now with a sigh, I'll end this song. One word more, the poets say, That privilege, too, I'll take if I may. 'Tis this-Juniors, Sophs, and Freshies new, Remember us as those who stood with you. -Ethel Kemp.
