We l'crammed for exams and we passed one or two, And told all our classmates just how we ggot through. But soon we were Sophomores, learned and bold, All doing precisely the things we were told; We treated the Freshmen with silent contempt, But from scorn of the Seniors we were not exempt, 'Till our boys plucked up courage and mingled a bit, And wrote gallant notes full of Sophomore wit, And many a lad, with a lass by his side, The loud taunts of arrogant Seniors defied. The following year we were J uniors, each one, All eager and anxious to join in the fun. We grew literary and wrote for The Gleam, We published ttThe Screamer,n to let out some steam, We joined all the clubs that we possibly could, But low in our lessons we most of us stood. The teachers, Ilm sure, must have liked us quite well, Each one seemed to want us with him seventh bell. Demerits came Hying, a sore aggravation, For talking and laughing in class recitation. In vain did we wish that our School days were oler, For every road led to the penitentls door. September beheld us as Seniors all grave, A11 eager the way to commencement to pave, We went through a set of election gymnastics, Made eloquent speeches, high-soaring bombastics; We chose as our leader our friend Horton Stanley, Efficient and clever, artistic and manlye To aid him a splendid young lady we chose, Beloved Ruth Donnelly, sweet as a rose; To write up our minutes Miss Helmets we picked, And two noble classmates class dues to inflict! We all stood together, not one dared to fail, 9

A pM-SPM ; n 6MPP4 ,yg-s 5 0000- W1 L L Twas the tenth of September, just four years ago, That as ilFreshies we entered the portals of woe; With tight-braided llpigtails and pompadoured locks, With wide, flowing silk ties and stiflly starched frocks; Gazing in wonder at all the great throng, Jostled and pushed, we were hurried along; Directions they gave us, not helpful at all, For all we were told Was, nNow find Study-Hall; Up a stair, down a stair, through a hall, onward, Into that Study-Hall stormed the one hundred; Pupils to right of us, teachers ahead, Well might each one of us wish we were dead. Taunted and jeered at in lunch room and yard, Surely the lot of a Freshman was hard. Days and weeks passed, but they brought no cessation, And oh, how we longed for that far off vacation! We wrestled with Math and with Latin declensions, And manfully strove to win ttHonlrable Mention, We delved deep in Irving and looked up big words, And stumbled oler questions like Hperfect absurds; 3

Nor shrink from his work at the class Candy-Sale; We munched on lidivinjty, divi'ed our fudge, And tried to break tafl'y that just wouldn't budge. In Latin we sang of the ilarms and the manfl And vainly essayed Virgilsi epic to scan; In Chaucer we read of the Parson and Knighti Chaucerian English we tried to recite; We studied like Trojans for mid-year exams, And were led to the tlslaughter like innocent lambs. Remembrancerll officers chose we with care, Selected class colors of beauty quite rare, Oratorical Hprelime then showed us most plainly Our fair class was made up of orators mainly; Popularity contests our minds next inspired, And we gave to our enemies names not desired; With laughter and shouts the ugymll rafters then trembled, As at the itA Dance all the Seniors assembled; We wrote tender verses, composed many rhymes, To go in each graduates i'Book of Good Times;n We pledged lasting friendships with comrades each one, Vowed ever to cherish each memoir of fun; We promised that loyal through life we would be, And all ever faithful, Class 15, to thee! eMary L. Phillips. 10
