Lhe SGARS 0g Illustrious class of 1904. Our happy school days now are o’er Although our numbers have grown less We do not lack resourcefulness. We’ve labored hard for four whole years And for the future have no fears. Our victories we need not repeat For we have never known deteat. In one respect we are unique To find, you will have far to seek, Eleven girls without one boy, A fact which does not mar our joy, The Freshmen party proved, no doubt, That boys are better done without. As we explain it triends to you, We feel that you’ll approve our view. That they might furnish fun for all The Freshmen asked each Senior tall To seat herself on a wee brown stool And play she’d just been sent to school, Our teacher was a Freshmen maid Wise and learned, grave and staid. She told us each to make a speech, We roasted the Juniors all and each. So much they had to think about That they, quite inclined to pout. We gave a hit to each lad and lass; DEE CEASSSROEM By JOY M.SHUTT. The teacher said tne Seniors would pass And then she called on the Junior class, Those boys, they acted as green as grass. Instead of doing as they were bid They went to the cellar and there they hid. We don’t know why they did this way Unless they didn’t know what to say. And on that night there were but few Who didn’t wish they were spinsters too. Our class has gifts to beat the seers And no class e’re will be our peers. Floride recites with thrilling power Entrancing hearers by the hour. And Zoe and Dottie have voices so sweet That with them Patti would not compete. The fame of Ruth the prophet grows For things which are to come she knows. If each to her best aim is true No goal’s too high to reach unto. The dues to woman now are given For which she long has toiled and striv’n. It’s been enacted at recent date In Washington City to instate The statues fair of women great In stately Statuary Hall. And Illinois takes the lead of all And give Miss Willard’s statue place Due to the noblest of her race. Such fame as hers we may not gain We’re told not all will maids remain. Whate’re our rank in life may be Let each her powers exert and see That still she strives ur.to her goal Which needs all power of mind and soul. Before to school we say farewell We would a word of the teachers tell. And what indeed we say believe For ’tis our rule to ne’er deceive. Go in Mr. Harrison’s wake The path leads up that you would take Justice and honor light his way Walk in his steps you will not stray. Mr. Tyner is kind and sincere To all his scholars it is clear. And they would each be glad to do What ’ere they could for one so true. Miss Hodge, Miss Hoffman all respect Their work speaks forthem. We expect From them, like us, will others learn The best in all things to discern. As from our school we each emerge Standing upon the future’s verge Let us adopt for our life rule The motto which we chose at school, ««Excellency or Nothing.”’
