THE ORACLIE SENIOR POEM The old Demerits were falling fast, As thru the Benton High School passed A class, who bore mid sweat and price, A banner with this strange device Nineteen . Their hearts were brave, Their thoughts were true, They laughed and talked as pupils do, And, like a silver clarion fell, The accents of the old school bell, Nineteen Oh haste, Oh haste the Seniors wept, To the days which oh so slowly crept, They thought they never would pass by, But they always held their banner high, Nineteen A y As Freshies green they felt the pain Of toiling under Dumps strict reign, Beyond, the Senior year dim shone, And from their lips escaped a moan Nineteen Beware of final exams, Prof. said, And don't lose sight of the goal ahead, These words they'd sharply hear Until the end of their last year Nineteen And now at last the time is here, When they must leaiveftheir High School dear But as the years 'gb 'passing by They'll proudly hold their banner high.

THE ORACLE JUNIOR CLASS POEM Here's to the class of 1920 Who've had trials and sorrows a-plenty But come what may We're always gay And take things in the usual way. Three long years we've done our best One year more then We will meet the test And though we are so dignified Here are the stunts that some have tried. There's our president Claude Moore Who still admires the Sophomore Neva more widely known as Skip To Jamison often takes a trip, Russel one night while trying to coast On the old Dug Road ran into a post. And Eva we cannot tell you how Received the drumming at Mr. Skow's. Max and Minard make us laugh With their wit and humor in every class. Ella the quietest of the bunch Sets an example for the rest of us. While Florence quite contrary to that Always with anyone ready to spat. Doyle who lives quite out of town Really would make a very good clown. Hilda likes to walk in the rain Lends him umbrellas, so he'll come again Willis and Donald are hard to beat And often get a change of seat. Elizabeth and Dorethea without faking Come to school to learn Home-Making. Ernest Our Darling is getting so tall That we all look up to see him at all. Helen the orator of the class Is a jolly, intelligent little lass. Harry is always so calm and cool And Paul has a habit of missing school. Two good chums are Reta and Bess And why they are you'll have to guess. There are many more things Which are left unsaid But we tell you this much So We don't class as Dead So here's to the J uniorsl Jolly, but not bold And this be our Motto For Blue and the Gold. -R.
