Dick Hydeman's known throughout th He once was Einstein's protege, Till Einstein sent his resignation. In science now, Dick holds full sway. Perpetual motion he's discovered, He's solved the fourth dimension, too, All mysteries he has uncovered, He does what no one else can do. Goldsborough is our Governor And now Ohio's out of debt. Jim Campbell's warden at the peng One from our class he's never met. Ken Smith is coach at Notre Dame. His team is champion of the West. To Piqua, he has brought much fame. Of time he's surely stood the test. Poor Norman Bryan now is dead. He was an editor of note, But for some cutting thing he said An angry reader cut his throat. His life was like a beacon glow, To follow him is our intent, But ere we start we'd like to know Which way poor Norman Bryan went. john Zollinger now lives abroad, He chums with the nobility. His friends are earl or duke or lo'dg The life just suits john to a T. Do you remember Elwood Rose? He's president of O. S. U. Degrees? A dozen, l suppose, His name appears in Who ls Who. Bill Harris is at Tuskegee, In foremost rank he's won a place. He holds a Ph.D. degree And is an honor to his race. I chanced upon Bob Woods last week, His features radiated cheer. He teaches gym out at Spring Creek And makes two thousand bucks a year jim Dawson's in the far-off West, His is a forest ranger's life. With health and happiness, he's blest, A pleasant home, a charming wife. Bob Gates is now a movie starg The answer to a maiden's prayer. He drives a Rolls-Royce motor carg Is hailed an idol everywhere. I heard from Dick Hill once last yearg He broadcasts over N. B. C. He's worth a half a million clearg ls happy as a man can be.
