l EJ I3 wanna rnlanlnsl-lllrr A SENIOR BEES Strike up the band for the Senior Bees, A diligent crowd they arep Their glance gives the Freshmen trembly knees When they see them from afar. The Sophomores pale and stand aside VVhen they hear our stalwart treadg The Juniors run their heads to hide, And quake with fear and dread. lVIrs. lVIorse is our faculty advisor, She doesn't eat so very much for lunchg But by diligent effort she tries to make wiser The following Senior Bee bunch.

Toots Rowell is a Senior, She's the saxaphone in the bandg She hopes to grow much leaner- Give the little girl a big hand. Nine rahs for Frenchie Johnson, She's also in our roomy This girl was very retiring, But now her stock goes boom! Bob lVIclVIaster's now a Senior- He's had an awful bout, For the faculty kept getting meaner, And he can't quite figure it out. The quietest in our classroom Is dear old Uma Frankg His diet is of Spearmint gum, And we all think it rank. Earl Tavan's nickname is The Duke, He's tall, tailored, and tan- When he goes in for aviating He won't he an also ran. ' Al Penningtoifs anotherg The girls all think him cute.

A El SVDFRI-D If-'F!lEhlB5l-ll? IN MEMORIAM HOWARD SCHMID-DIED MAY 5, 1929 Our schoolmate has passed to the great beyond, Leaving with us sweet memories hereg And while we miss his happy song We'll always remember his friendship dear. A jolly pal, with a cheery smile, No task was too small for him to attend. When anyone needed help from him None could have found a truer friend. His life here was full of sunshine and joyg His music held promise of greatness and fame. And now that he dwells in that heavenly home We'll cherish his memory and honor his name. B12 ENG inl9 LILA HATTON-DIED JANUARY 30, 1929 For her who loved beauty and art, Whose friendship we cherish full Wellg To recall the brief time she was with us, YVe pause on her mem'ry to dwell. As we saw her sweet smile in our midst, A smile so gentle and kindg Our lives were brightened, enriched Another like her We'll ne'er find. E251 L1sH CLASS
