Class History THE POST I It was a class of thirty-eight That came so scared and shy We took our seats with down-cast looks. But not a one did cry. II Stupid, stupid, all, all stupid. Stupid to a great degree; And never a teacher took pity on us. With our souls in agony. III And all the exams did come very swift And we children did sigh like sedge; And the zeros poured down from one black cloud. But the sun was at its edge. IV Through our soph’more year we went sailing on, As in a gentle weather — 'Twas fine, very fine, we studied and worked, We all remained to-gether. V Three boys from Garrett came ere long To better our Junior year; We gave a Junior-Senior Of which you all must hear. VI We passed with honors from year to year. The time flew swiftly on We learned strange things, tis very true. Too soon the days were gone. VII And as the days passed swiftly by To our crew was added one more; Blanche Stirrett came from Garrett town— Far away from the Lake Fork shore, VIII But now our ship has reached the shore, The mountains before us lie — From every side we get advice; It makes us heave a sigh. IX We're loathe to leave our dear old school To be scattered far and near; But to those our friends we leave behind. We say, “good luck, good cheer. —Sophia Scheffer, '20 Class Prophecy (Portion of America’s Who’s Who’ ANDERSON, ERVIN —Urbana. Illinois, author of Anderson’s Electrical Engineering.
