Read some one else's. Be a sponge. 3. Always tell how bad the team is going to get beat. Be a pessimist. 4. Don't go to the Senior Lecture course. You might go broke. 5. Never attend the basket ball games. It costs a quarter. You might help the teams. -Anon The time is much too near at hand, When we'll leave old Bourbon High. On the threshold of the school we stand, Where all our memories lie. The good times that we've had. here We never can forget, And when we leave our friends so dear Memories will haunt us yet. In fifteen years from now perhaps We'll sit before some firelight glow And gazing deep into the ilames Will dream of times we used to know. We'll look The Python's pages o'er And think of those we've long forgot, And classmates, teammates, others too, And former sweethearts, like as not. And basket ball and base ball too And lots of hard fought games we've won And foolish pranks we played in school And lots of dearly paid for fun. But why should I go rhyming so, And look back at times which are so near This time is the best we'll ever know, So let's enjoy it while it's here. 0 oononoooo oooooonoo
