-' PURPLEAND ' AN ODE TO THE UNDERCLASSMEN I-Iere's to the Underclassmen, may their spirits never die! Their scholastic records will go down to fame As the many years go by. Their athletic powers are marveled at all through this part of the land. The cups and medals they've won for us, pass proudly from hand to hand. Come on, you noted speaker, why hide behind that wall? You know you're deserving of creditg you're marveled and envied by all. These boys and girls will make their names in many a far-off place, Then hack again to this dear old High, their start in life they will trace. Their talent in music is not so small when you think what they've done this year! And just the renown of their yearly plays Has spread hoth far and near. So it must be, is it not true, dear reader, after all I've said in this rhyme, The Underclassmen will he just as famous throughout the passage of time? The years may come and the years may go, Yet their fame will linger on 'Til these old walls start falling-crumble-decay and are gone. 1931 Page Twenty Three
