FRESHMAN NOTES Thirty Freshmen in their seats. Prepared to learn of Scott and Keats, All clean-faced and thoroughly starched. Hearts a-throb. and each throat parched. When first we started into high. First we’d giggle, then we’d sigh. For all was strange and all was new. Teachers cross and good times few. We’d look in awe and mild surprise. When Seniors great would wink their eyes. Or send a note at lull-blown speed. Just for some silly boy to read. But alter while things got some better, Then each one jumped from his fetter. Went to laughing, talking too. It may seem awful, but it’s true. Teachers then, 'course they’d look mad. Then we’d look so sweet and sad That they couldn’t our feelings spurn But read in their eyes, “too green to burn” And so it’s been from that first day. We work awhile and then we play. But course we try to please “the three,’’ But that’s not easy, try and see.
