Veni, vidi, vici, said Julius Caesar, proud, As he took his laurel wreath oft to the Roman crowd. Ach du lieber fills the air in a German class. Bonne chance, cries a French eleve, I hope we pass. Aleph, Beth, Gimmel start the Hebrew A, B, C's La Leccion es muy facil, that's Spanish with some ease. The Language Department taught us quite successfully That Forest Hills is really a lingual Potpourri. Eighty words a minute, we'd never get it done When we were writing forty, stenography was fun. We thought we'd all pass typing with a maximum of ease, Then to our consternation-no letters on the keys. Accounting taught us neatness, to keep our columns even. We had to have some Business Law, before we were leaving. So when we start working in the hardened world outside, What we learned at Forest Hills will serve as our guide.

DEPARTMENTAL DITTIES ' by .loan and Rena Young We don't say ain't , it ain't a word. We learned this rule terms first to third We then surged on to Julius C. Et tu, Brute ' then cried we. Tale of Two Cities we gave lots of kidding, As we traveled with Madame Defarge and her knitting. The ethics of SteFfens, Macbeth in term eight, Oh, English Department, you've really been great! IIA l -l- 1 : 2 is long since gone But trigonometry lingers on. In response to teacher's admonitions We memorized our propositions. Physics is fancy, geometry's plane, X -l- Y nearly drove us insane. But we've come to the end of the intricate path. When we count up successes, we'll do it in math. Modern History, ancient times, Charlemagne, royal crimes, Monroe Doctrine, war atomics, Engels Law in Economics. We found our way to A. H. 2, Mr Heine The Regents had us in a stew. Now here's to the course and those who fed it Into our heads for passing credit.

They're given all the benefits Of youth's athletic ioys. The coaches teach them sportsmanship On each athletic field, and then Sends them out into the world Not as boys, but as men. We got minuses for talking, for Iateness and for gum. We strained ourselves in exercises to the beating of the drum. We played the major sports from volleyball to track. We sat so straight for plusses We nearly broke our back. We wore our gymsuits faithfully, without a washing, til We threw them out, June 29th, Uncleaned and unwashed still.
