SOPHOMORE Though this class is small in numbers, It is not an empty dream, For it has some studious mem-bers Wlhose brilliance can clearly be seen. John Blair 'ls a Sophomore Who always tries to blui And he tries ito make his school-mates roar With some of his funny stuif. Elmer Black thought l1e'd come back To ,spend a day with us, But this is a matter alas! alackl Whic'h we will not discuss. Williard's a lad of small physical dimensions, But in hi-s classes mounts up to the sky, He runs a Ford with the best intentions, That is-tor bring him to Perry High. Elizabeth is a girl who's known as Betty, Another member of the Sophomore class, When we need a pianist She's always ready, And in her studies she's hard to surpass. Next in line comes Marion Faupel Who crosses Layton bridge nearly every day, We're sure from this structure she'll never topple And she's too small to make it sway. Lulu, a girl whose last name is Griglak, In Caesar 'constructions is a regular shark, And in other studies is never back But always makes a very good mark. Carl Keck better known as Wee-Wee, Says he lik-es to fight just for fung But start something and just see If he d1oesn't immediately run. Little Wee-Wee has a sister Pearle In everything she is always right there, We all know she is a first rate girl For work she'll never give up in despair. Mertie Martin is quite modes and a little shy Biut a worker that is faithful and true, Whatever is requested, she will always comply And do the verybest she can do. Ruth Piersol is the Sophie's athelete In the games of baseball and basketball, In Algebra she can't be beat But Wishes she never had heard of Gaul Harold Strickler is a fine young fellow Who was never known to carry an umbrel'a, And as a result if you just look at his head You'11 find the Sun has dyed it bright red.
