'IZICUIQIQDQS LLLLLLL .L.n...L MQFARLAND SENIGRS I To appreciate this fully you must recall the day when, in full assembly. the seniors chanted the following lay, to the accompaniment of trombone and bass drum. As poetry it may be only so-so-but the melody lingers on. You can have a ten-cent lunch Or receive a mighty punch From the powerful arm ol the Seniors. Errol Janes is a fine man: A mighty race he ran As seniors Hocked around him all aglow: If you Hunk us in this test You won't live to see the rest Of the high 1. Q. McFarland seniors. J- P- fhimks he HWS' mi' YVhile burning mid-night oil ' 1 By painting up our speeches with red ink. Lourenzo, she is small And wishes she were tall So she could reach her Spanish students all, And bring them up to date So in language they would rate VVith the brave and wise M.F. Seniors. Fair Broadwell he is tall And wishes he were small So he could hide from sounds that drive him nertsg Now please don't close your ears For at present you must hear That good music coming from the Seniors. Now Allen is the man VVho eats a lot of lamb To keep the prices soaring in the sky. Depression will be o'er, And nobody will be sore If you buy your grub from the Seniors. Sir XVebb, he feels quite free To tell both you and me That we have algebraic faces-square. You may think that this is fun, But I say you'd better run From the mathematical Seniors. Now Brick he is a dear XVho loves his 3.2 beer, But Mrs. VVilliamson says, None of that! Wie really mean no harm. You must heed this last alarm, i Or be inked bright red by the Seniors. Ann Harder gets our goatg lVe're sending her a note To let us have our own sweet way at last. Her advice it may be right. But we fight it with our might For all knowledge comes from the Seniors. Poor Veda keeps the books And hangs us on the hook If we forget our absence slips at home. Now Veda, you look out Or we'll turn this thing about And we'll see you beg from the Seniors. Now juniors 'tis to you Freshmen and Sophies too. At last we leave you these important words! If you want a good old school You must never play the fool. But be wise and true as the Seniors. This ends our Senior song: If something we have done That is not to the credit of our school, XVe now ask you to forgive For all of us shall live To be brave and true McFarland boosters.

SENIOR PROPHECY tContinuedl Frank Boardman has turned over a new leaf. No cards, no dances, and no drinks-for Frank is now the president of the Young Men's Temperance Union. And has be a temper! You should have heard him when that old motorcycle wouldn't start. At the conclusion of twenty years of arduous love making VVilbur at last won out, and Mary Thompson consented to become his life partner for better or for worse. Her diversion now at odd moments when she is not caring for the children consists of writing popular songs which XVilbur puts over to the general public with his mellow baritone voice. Eugene Allen and his wife, who weighs 875 pounds and is six feet tall, have entered the Al Barnes circus. VVe wish them success and hope that his dear wife will never have the ill luck of falling on him accidentally-or that Eugene will never quarrel with her. lVhen Glenn Erath left McFarland High, folks said, Here we have a man of the soil. They had a man, but not of the soil, for Glenn has traveled to the nearest and farthest corners of Africa and is known as the great international evangelist. Lawerence Huddleston, who for years tried to apply the principle of winter hibernation, has finally given up the idea and is now farming a 2000 acre ranch in Arvin. There he is raising everything from Hsh eggs to tumble weeds. Florence Hubbard came to McFarland High in her senior year. Wie all knew she was more than graceful, but never did her classmates dream that some day she would be of such fame as Florence has attained. Everybody knows the heart-snatcher of the Broadway Follies. Do any of you remember VValdo, who was so bright in all his studies? XVell, that boy wasn't bright for nothing. Now he is Professor of languages at the bniversity of California. lt does Miss Lourenzo's heart good to see one of her students go so far. XYhat changes time has brought to our tall, handsome Joe Roberts! Xllhile in high school he could hardly open his mouth wide enough to recite his lessons- Now he is U. S. Senator from Texas, with the reputation of being the most determined and the longest-winded politician in the United States. The senior class is proud to say that among the various ones we have a noted inventor and salesman. Wloodrow Vfiimberley is selling Comfort Special, in the form of colored capsules. Dissolve a capsule of Comfort Special in your bath water and for a whole week no mosquitos or other insects will bother you. Incidentally, it is effective against all undesirables, women included, according to Woodrow. And won't you be surprised to hear about Osie Turner? Everybody expected him to be a lawyer, or something of that nature. VVell, sir, he became so popular with the girls that he has established himself in the business of rejuvenating worried faces. He is in the height of his glory, with his name in the XVho's Vlfho and his pockets full of lucre. -41--
