J Marie Palmer and Ruth Creasy Work here with heart and head, Altho they flirted much of yore, They now must earn their bread. Maude Steele is an old maid as yet, Don ' t laugh! She is heart-sick; She had many a fellow long ago But by her they would not stick. Ah! Here ' s a girl who ' s happy In blissful married life, Ruth Slagle gave up long ago; She is a happy wife. Duck, friend. I know the villain. This aerial road-hog; ' Tis our old class aviator, The far-famed Roger Grogg. Again below your eyes do cast. Aha! I smell a mouse; There ' s speedy Bill, our long lost friend, Head of the old poor-house. There ' s Auburn ' s famous scientist; And tho she is a girl. The thoughts from Jessie Carnahan sprung Have set the earth awhirl. To every corner of the earth Spreads Jessie Moffet ' s fame; The greatest actress e ' er there lived, And greatest of her name. George Borst was once a ladies ' man, But now — sad to relate, George heads a young ladies ' school — poor things. They dare not have a date.

Across the meadows verdure Steps his wife so tried and true, She is our old friend ' s pride and joy — I think you can guess who. And from the nation ' s center, Heart of its joys and frets, Hear Clellah ' s passioned pleading, — for She ' s Queen of Suffragettes. But stop. A small voice prompts me, That tho her ways are set, There ' s a handsome gentleman on earth Who ' s bound to have her yet. And this worthy Walter Willson- As he ' s the one I meant — On earth is highest of that class, For he is President. In the government of this noble man Voices known of old I hear; And faces long remembered Begin now to appear. For here ' s a runt whom I should know- He was our High School ' s curse, But tho John dunned us boys of old, Now he holds the nation ' s purse. Boisterous tho he was at school, I there see Harold Brown; As a cut-up he had always been, They could not hold him down.

Lenore and Seely Wilson Have spread their fame afar, In making untold fortune By staying where they are. They make a novel engine. And fortune them confronts, For this engine sweeps a woman ' s house- Without her moving once. Marie Ice is somewhat noted And nearly heads this list, Altho you may not think it, she ' s Earth ' s greatest humorist. Ruth Campbell did not wish for fame, She is content to be The wife of Leo Noirot — And Auburn ' s Mayor is he. Art Morr took up boxing, — Upon this very date, He fulfills his life ' s purpose, — 3iow Art ' s champion heavyweight. Then closer to the Heavenly Gates A single figure drew, And by his noble face I thought He was a man I knew. Yes. this was old Jit Baxter, Come, his reward to claim, Greater preacher than Billy Sunday On earth he won his fame. From out the gates thrown open A welcome committee drew, There were Miss Fitch, McKenney — All the teachers once we knew.
