When it ran in the ground, The best thing was to look for a cat. There’s Bernice Mings, the society flapper. Who goes to the shows with Frank Snapper, She’s fond of Glenn But she said “O then.” As Frank there is no one so dapper. There is a young Sophomore called Ross, Who came from Greenbush on a hoss. Although she can ride. And hopes to be a bride. She first must ask leave of the boss. Our Ercell is stately and tall. Never talks to the girls in the hall.

With complexion so rare, And light wavy hair, We call hei the pride of the class. There was a young Sophomore named Sciirodt, Who had a large billy goat: But when asked why. He began to cry. And in his tears he did float. A brilliant young Sophomore is Jack, Who always would say something back, Then what happened next— Miss Pomeioy got vexed. And she offered to give him a whack.

Our Ada is both graceful and pretty; She’s rather more fair than she’s witty. When it comes to a test, She will e’er do her best; If she flunks, Oh! What a pity. Melvin Schisler is young and gay; He’s always fooling his time away. He says, “Oh! Why worry Or be in a flurry? Let’s eat, drink and be merry, I say.” There was a young Sophomore named Witter— In captain ball she’s a good hitter. Though new in our class. You can bet that she’ll pass. For she never was known a quitter. Then there is John, a noble young man. Who delivers milk in an old tin can. Though by nature he’s witty. He’s not very pretty, For his face is all covered with tan. Then next on the list came Leroy— His new oxfords his pride and his joy Such marvelous hair. And complexion so fair— He’s surely a wonderful boy. RAYMOND BELL AND OREL DAY.
