DO YOU KNOW US? -iv.-1-1.--n--. ---1.1------Q-. We're the best kids in the school We never ever break a rule. We never talk in study hall We know our lessons, never stall Chewing gum is no habit with us Because it would raise a very big fuss Eating candy is no lark, Or down to the office we Down the halls we calmly sever a look nor a faint e Or would park stroll hello never ever make a sound, into a little black book our name goes down We never primp or powder our nose Or tell about our Sunday Clothes Nor talk about our boyfriends true Our Johnnys and Bills--and what we do Yes, we're the Angels of B.S A Who do we hear shout nay, nay, nay? Don't you know us? Well, can't you guess who? It's the Junior Class of '42 --Frances Lee Tilger '45 ' DONT VKICK ff W '4 ,V I'-Ffa A X I Qrfwfb '-ff-K e 'Fl '7 XOR

A REMINISCENCE Dear God, Remember the way I used to pray To graduate from school, someday? , Remember things I promised You If You'd help me see those exams thru? There are so many things that have gone U1 They've only helped to make time fly. And now I'd like to remlnisce Do You mind if I do just this? My Freshman year was totally a torture new It all comes back to me now---the bossing too! But after all is said and done I must admit, I did have run. After the smell of fish wore off Then came the year of being a Soph. What happened then, my m1nd's a blank Perhaps I should say a prayer of thanks. Now that two years are left behind Thinking of it---I havenft much time, How I ever got here--Is humor, I still oan't believe that li! a JUNIOR. Ah!---at last the year has come, To have got this far, I'm not so dumb! Being a Senior does make you sing, - And after all 1t's Nquite the thingu. So, dear God, 1t's thru no fault of mine That four years have dealt with me kind, Knowing that You will always bs, Faithful now, and in ETERNITY. ' --La Nita Snow '42.
