26 CLASS RECORD Whene’er we see an awful frown On Charles Britt’s brow, we know He’s pondering o’er the theories Of Emerson and Thoreau. Among the ladies Ely has gained Success o’er all the world; But sad, alas, is Martin’s fate— Looking for a sensible girl. We have our artist Dorothy, And Robert, a cartoonist great; Their works are known o’er all the school. And for praises never wait. The mandolin and Hallowed Are the greatest pals, and so, On moonlight nights, to Willow Grove They serenading go. Sports of all kinds are popular With the members of our class ; Conway and Houpt for basketball. Lever for girls, and jazz. Irwin is very fond of golf, Ella for basketball; While Madonna is composing songs For a Freshman girl, that’s all.

Claste $3oem The long-sought goal we’ve gained at least. Our hopes are realized ; But many happy days are past Who's memories we now prize. The good old days when first we came To the halls of Abington, And then the years that followed them. Full of work and fun. And now we think of each dear friend, And there are many many, Who’ve helped to make us what we are— The Class of 1920. The first of whom we’d speak today Is Merrill, who’s quite short; He’s very fond of .Sophomores You know, and fond of sports. And next is Christine—sweet and shy, She blushes quite a bit: For a certain Sophomore’s class pin Has surely made a hit! Martha, Myrtle and Therese Are our triumvirate; They’re always up to something queer To trap you, sure as fate.

Mebus’ little pet nowadays Is a Ford, quite acrobatic; And when he tires of that, then he Just turns to Mathematics. Carl is always hunting facts To use in argument, And in public speaking, where. To his feelings, he gives vent. Those tortoise shells of Penrose’s Becoming are to him, That blush of Phipps’ is also, And is no whit less dim. We have some speedy typists, too, Amid our little band— Muriel, Margaret and Rea, Who always will, and can. Powers, of all the tickets, takes charge, And of the printing, too, For all the dances, and the plays, And whatever else we do. Florence is mathematical To a very great extent: While Robinson on his tenor voice His energies has bent.
