bulkeley news 15 Class Poem. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen, Is ’mons the best that Bulkeley has seen. For four short years we’ve worked here side by side On lessons long and lessons hard and tried To do our best. And now at last ’tis done, And we our work in life have just begun. Before we separate just let me tell To each a word of love, of praise, fare-well. There’s Leary, president of this good class, And foot-ball captain too, and did surpass, All captains Bulkeley has seen for years. Then Cassidy our treasurer,—three cheers For him, for he has done his duty well. And St. Germain to him I wish to tell The fine clean work that he has done for all As editor of our school paper small. And who had charge of the Foot-ball team? ’Twas Foley who we hold in high esteem. Then Belcher, he did manage our good track, With zeal and skill; we all know that’s a fact. And now I wish to name our foot-ball men— Without their help we sure would be unken. And here’s to Gaffney who did play right end, For much upon his zeal there did depend. Mulcaliey played for 11s, left tackle well, And we must give to him a hearty yell. Then Schwartz, and where did he perform with zeal? ’Twas at right-tackle where he’d never reel. And now there conies to mind our full-back man, ’Tis Weske;—not afraid of any man. And here we praise our good and strong right guard, It’s Beran who did play the game so hard. There are some substitutes I did not name Because in other things they had more fame. Baratz has changed so much in the past school year That we 110 longer feel that he is queer. And Bronstein won for us the points at track, And this for weeks did put him on his back. I mustn’t forget to name our lesson sharks,

16 BULKKLEY NEWS For they most always did receiv'e high marks. ’Bout Corcoran I have not much to say. Because hard Latin he did so as play, And Copeland could the Chemistry recite. While all the rest kept still as mice with fright. But who could do Geometry with ease? No one but Stewart could the lessons seize. There’s Perkins, number one of this good class And he was sure a credit to this class. Now Sherb was pretty good in French, for all The work that we did write he’d only scrawl. And how about this funny Rosenthal? Of course we know not what he has for gall. A few as yet I haven’t had time to name. There’s Dehmer queer, ’bout him I can’t explain. Then Murphy fat, he too is liked by all. As well as Ryley even though he’s tall. Now Harshowitz, a speaker good is he. And Keating—who can say what he will be? Who knows a thing about this Kaufman bold? He comes around and asks for nickels old. About this classmate Liljenstein I say That he will be a man some future day. And last as well as least is Kaplan small, He certainly is not so very tall. And now I’ve said a word about each one. Let me repeat, your work is just begun. So fare-well classmates, fare-well one and all! We ne’er shall meet again in this bright hall. ROLLIN H. BARRETT.
