iFmshman Of all the Freshman classes That have ever struck this town, Ours is the only one of them That’s really gained renown. The High School doors were opened wide. Unto this jolly crowd, And if you give us half a chance, We’re going to make you proud. Don’t think because we’re new here That we’re going to fall behind; Take notice! all ve Sophomores And bear this thought in mind. Our class, of course, is most renowned For knowledge and sharp wit, And Caisar and his legions Couldn’t turn us down a whit. In arithmetic we’re always there, We've mastered all the rules, And as for English students Who dares to call us fools! fisliiry We’re at the top in Latin, And there we’re going to stay; We’re “out there some” in Algebra, (That’s what the teachers say.) In history we are “as good as gold,” Both in Reman and in Greek. We know that Philip conquered Rome. And Cassar died a freak. In basket ball we’ve had our praise, In foot-ball won great fame, We’ve scored success tor G. H. S. In every blessed game. Our class is such a brilliant one, Its members all so bright; To tell you all our virtues Would take a full fortnight. May the class that comes behind us. Take this motto, “Do your best!” And follow the class of 1912 Through the entire G. H. S. —Historian.
