4 1 0 SOPHOMORES When as Freshmen we enrolled, Our thoughts were not turned toward gold Life seemed easy, things were new, Although the work hard, our troubles were Up the ladder we have clumb, Standing now on the second rung, We've taken a higher view of life, And know we gain only by strife. Juniors and Seniors, then our finish, Gradually our school life does diminish. Resolved now to do our best To be a large class and one of success. -Margaret O'Day '28, jOHNNY'S HISTORY LESSON few. I think of all the things at school A boy has got to do That studying history, as a rule, Is worst of all, ':lon't you? Of dates there are an awful sight And though I study day and night There's only one I've got just right, That's fourteen-ninety-two. Aledo High crossed the Delaware In fourteen-ninety-two And whipped the Violians fair and square In fourteen-ninety-two. At Joy and New Boston We kept the basketball teams on the run While the band played, Johnny, get your guns, In fourteen-ninety-two. Mr. McCarty with his dying breath In fourteen-ninety-two Said, Give me liberty or death, In fourteen-ninety-two. And Miss Schroll so 'tis said Cried, Shoot if you must this old gray head, But I'd rather 'twould be your own in- stead, In fourteen-ninety-two. Kentucky was settled by Harry Croyle In fourteen-ninety-two And I think the cow jumped over the moon In fourteen-ninety-two. Mr. Barrett flew his kite so high He drew lightning from the sky, And Mr. Constant couldn't tell a lie In fourteen-ninety-two. -Lysle Fuhr '28. :W - The Astrum-Aledo High School 25
