UNCLE CY ON THE SENIOR CLASS (Uncle Cy was asked what his opinion was concerning the Senior Class and here is his reply) Thar’s a nifty bunch o’ Seniors aleavin’ school today, Ter go out in the cold, crool world (we’re proud of ’em I say). They’re all smart an’ clever, tew. an’ they’ll all git along. Cuz they’ve bin taught at A. H. S. an’ simply can’t go wrong. Goodness knows they’ve hed their troubles all along ther way. Sumthin’ used ter turn up. most every other day; But four long years they’ve stuck, till naow they’ve come at last Ter be a smart, intellergint, an’ much-admired class. Thar’s Gennie Brown, fer instance, with her head so wondrous wise. She’s gone an’ beat the hull bunch—Solomon in disguise. Of course, there’s other bright ones. Bert Squires bein’ one; He’s bin a stiddy worker, an’ naow his battle’s won. And Hilda Morey is another who’s smart along with Bert, An’ ef Tonk ain’t mentioned here, her feelin's will be hurt. But Tonk’s sure worth yer notice—he’s the best in ther bunch When it comes ter big ideas, he’s right ready with a hunch. The most pop’lar girl among ’em is Bed Garner, ye jist bet. An’ when they’ve gone and left us. she’s one ye won’t forget. She’s big an’ strong an’ jolly, an’ yes. she’s clever, too; She kin sing an’ dance n everything, ain’t ye sorry thet she’s thru? I’m most forgittin’ Johnnie Weller, he’s a rippin good ole scout; Some day he’ll be presdunt of the National Bank, ’thout doubt. Thar’s another girl named Samson—there ain't much thet she can’t do; At speakin’ she’s a corker, an’ yes. at singin’ too. An’ when it comes ter cuttin’ up. Lee Crawford’s first in line; I never seen thet feller’s beat fer havin’ a good time. An’ say, ye all know Lunger, presdunt of A. H. S.; He’s goin’ ter buy Vail’s Clothin’ Store some happy day I guess. In talkin’ ’bout yer studious boys, Bill Gerould’s name ain’t dim. Some day he’ll up an’ show us whut persistence done fer him. An’ Bob Horton is another who’s made hard study pay. An’ prob’ly we’ll hear more of him. as well as Bill, some day. An’ then there is some others who belong in this, Stanley Payne an’ Marg’ret Smith shud never be forgot, Fer their stiddy, earnest strivin’ has brought to them success. An’ we proudly say thet both of ’em is credits to A. H. S. Then thar’s a couple fellers—products of South Hill. They used ter come in Brinky’s Ford, an’ I guess they do it still; Everett Russell’s one of ’em. an’ the other is Fay Brink, They both are popular young men. good farmers too. I think. Thar’s a little girl named Salsman—gosh, she’s orful small. But Shorty’s real ambitious, so her size don’t count at all. Em’ly Tozer’s ez tall ez Marie is short, but she’s mighty glad o’ that. Cuz when it comes ter basketball she kin put the others fiat. Thar’s a couple other Smith’s (I’ve already mentioned one) — Freida comes from Smithfield. but Grace is local-born. Thar’s another girl among ’em who comes from Smithfield way. 29
