3§«' CLhr thuimrrami U hr nphmunrpfi’ Sauqu t There is an olden story, ’Tis a legend, so I’m told, How the Sophomores gave a banquet, On a rainy day of old; How the girls gave a party once For the champions with the ball. How they held it in the school building Down in the study hall. The Sophs of every clime were there. Of high and low degree. All with their manners polished, In sweet romantic glee. They met down in the study hall In the damp and rainy air. Each in his youthful lovliness, Expecting a feed so rare. The place cards shining brightly Showed where each should go, And none were left to Marvel, Louise and Fern had worked so. Maurine and Eunice from the south, And Naomi from the west Waited on the tables. Dressed in their very best. Thus everything went swimmingly ’Mongst perfumed girls and boys, And every teacher appeared save two That couldn’t share our joys. Corinne, Faith, and Eula in the kitchen toiled For the champions’ emulation. Knowing full well they would get A “hand-out” ration. The only boys that sent regrets And really couldn’t come Were Lloyd, at home with chicken-pox, And “Bake” and Teach,—on a bum (?) One Sophomore at the table Grew quite ill, we regret, But everyone knew too It wasn’t “toast” Neice’d “et.” Here’s to the boys with skill so rare, Who played and won the game; And here’s to the girls who fed them all And share with them the fame.
