JUNIOR CLASS POETRY Composed by Madeline Brantner VIRGINIA BLAKE- Virgfinia is a studious lass, But also full of life, Her lessons are learned before each class And she is as sharp-as the blade of a knife ALMA BONAR- I-Iere's one girl in our class Who a doctor, she expects to be, She no doubt will out surpass All others-in that degree. DESSIE BURLEY- She is so quiet, You'd hardly know she was around, She never causes a riot, And very seldom makes a sound. LEAH CONNER Leah is our cheer leader And yells like she was paid, We're sure no one can beat her, Because for this job, she was made. GALE CROVV- Her name suggests a thunder storm, But Gale is rather shy, She always has a pleasant smile, For those who pass her by. VIRGINIA CROW- Virginia does not loaf at school, After the day ls Work is done, She knows HE'S probably shooting pool, And hurries to meet this ONE. HELEN ERINST- Helen her mo-ther calls her, To her class mates HTutor, we refer. Bill calls her just Hennic, And this of all she prefers.

Now we are Juniors, the best class in school We set great examples and follow each rule. Our tasks and our burdens, full well do we know, But the cares of the 'LFreshies,'-they puzzle us so. Miss Smith, as our sponsor, this year we all chose Whose ideas come with each wind that blows. She helps our class far more than I can tell And without her I'm sure, we could not do so well. Our president, 'tSkinny, is firm as a wall, He's the very he-st president of them all. ln the month of January the 23rd day We gave our class party, some party, I'll say. Why everyone present exclaimed in a chorus 4'There wasnlt at thing all the evening to bore us I The Minstrel, the songs, the eats and the jokes, Just seemed to astonish the waiting folks. We Juniors are there in Athletics, too Here 's something l'll het you--you never knew That three of the class made the boy's quintet, But. whats more, four girls to the tournament went. Our Banquet this year is going to be great, So Juniors and Seniors, look out for a mate To accompany you, and enjoy it fine, For Banquets you know are right in our line. Thus, with banquets and parties and school on our brain, How in the world could we ever be sane? I Next year wc'll lie Seniors of '23 And what a future in us you will see, NVe'll achieve something worthy and reach great fame lIere's hoping all classes may do the same. H. M. Mc. '23

MARGARET FRANCIS- Sis's thoughts at Marietta roam, When she is sitting alone at home. While going to Spencer, she sited the place, And nothing else interested her but this fine landscape LEONA GILLESPIE- We have with us a sweet brunette, Whom we are sure you all have niet. In mathematics she's a shark, And in other subjects sets the mark.

MILDRED HUDSON- lf Mid you'rc looking for today, Call at. liineh's Confeetionary, pray. She's like the wandering jew on the hill, You can never find her sitting still. ISEITLAII KANNER- Beulah is such an angelic name, The girl herself is just the same, Shes as fair as a lily, and sings like a. lark, And is never caught ont. at night in the dark.
