16 THE SENIOR MAGNET CLASS JINGLES We called upon the Muses, To help us with their might, For we must tell about them, The class of the Blue and White. The Muses would not listen, Simply wouldn't give us aid, So toe’ll do the best we can, In telling of lad and maid. Herman Badger joined the colors, To help chase back the Hun, But, since the war is over, Two can live as cheap as one. Grace, our Valedictorian, Is the class advisor, too, But once in a while she insinuates How little we can do. There is a girl in our class, And we will put you wise, You can tell our Irma By her bright, flirty eyes. In Vergil, Harry Graham, Most surely is a duffer, Had he a pony instead of his “Fliv,” He'd be a better bluffer. Dorothy is a sweet girl, And she has many beaux, So you tvill always find her A-powdering her nose. Alberta is a fine lass, Tall, stately, and fair, And her chief attraction is Her beautiful Titian hair. Kenneth is our country lad, So full of fun, by heck, That when he have class doin’s He’s alzvays right on deck. Gen is fat and jolly, And is very fond of him, Oh, don’t you know who “him” is? Of course, we’ll tell—it’s Jim. Ray’s our worthy president, And the best in Chem by far, When it comes to fire extinguishers He surely is a star. Mae Thompson is a quiet girl, Who never has much to say, But in the art of singing She sure can reach high A. Gossard is a good old scout. Who never makes a “zip,” And to Mr. I nine’s office He’s never made a trip—(?) Uldenc has determined To live a single life, But we have a good idea She’d make an ideal wife. Mary is a fine girl, But has a trouble, we fear, For though she uses freckle cream, They will not disappear. George is salutatorian, And he’s had many cares, For he found at our picnic That the 'worst of these zverc pears. The darn old sack, it busted, He slung them in a sweater, And then the only trouble zvas It zvoiddn’t stay together. Inez Dougan is so very thin, But don’t you zvorry about that, For nozv she’s eating chocolate bars To try to get real fat.

THE SENIOR MAGNET 15 prepared through the aid of the Faculty in B. H. S. A number of us will take up our places in the world at once. But all of us who can will seek more education at some college or university. For, where is there better preparation toward success than in education, first in the high school, then in the college? Of course, where the college is impossible there is much to be learned that can be found better outside of the college. So we shall make the best of life wherever we are. As a word to those who shall succeed us, I add: Do your duty while in the high school and make the most of the opportunity offered to prepare you for your life’s work and you will look back upon your life in the high school with pride. Although we, the members of the class of February ’19, have had many tests of our ability, such as difficult lessons, stiff examinations, and many long hours of solid study, we shall always recall with pleasure our four years spent in B. H. S.. And we hope that the memory of our stay, there, will not die out in the minds of those with whom we worked. We, the members of the class of February ’19, zvish to express our thanks to the members of the Faculty for the kindly interest they have taken in us during the last four years. And especially to Misses Houston and Orr who aided so materially with our Class Night program and “Magnet.” , UN yv ... v,; ■ •

17 THE SENIOR MAGNET Bertha’s an honor student, Knoxes her lessons every time, We’re sure that in this ivorld, She's truly meant to shine. J’ernon’s lean and lanky, But he gets there just the same, And when it comes to basketball. He’s always in the game. Willard loves to sing, Willard loves to walk, But, most of all, our Willard loves To talk, and talk, and talk. Lucille, the smallest of our girls, Can poetry sure recite, To hear her, one would think She stayed up half the night. On the floor or in the field, You'll find two of our boys, Bricker and Campbell take delight. In all athletic joys. Oral is a quiet girl, Who seems so sober and shy. But when she once begins to laugh. She laughs just fit to die. Julia, a commercial student. Is bound to succeed, zee knozv, For zvhen it comes to typezvriting, She is anything but slow. Baylor hails from the country, He anszvered when Uncle Sam called. But he feels much more at home In his old blue overalls. Frances Ringer, a comely lass, Is a very pretty girl. And one of the few in our class Who can boast of a little brozvn curl. Marvin’s slow of speech, And very sloxv to smile. But, gee, how fast his Ford Can travel o’er a mile. We zvish you could listen To Mildred recite, for zee Most honestly believe That she's wound up zvith a key. From Edna Z. you seldom hear. But she's a girl zvith holden hair, And besides, zee'll tell you true. She has a szveet and zvinsomc air. Winifred has worked so hard, Now it’s graduation time And all her hopes are realized And everything is fine. Richard Russell zvent to zvar, But decided to come back To add one more to our class. For of boys zee have a lack. Helen is the quiet girl Of our rather noisy class. IVe also kttozv by her downcast eyes That she is the shyest lass. Rhea, zvith the sunny smile. The piano certainly can play; She travels in from the country. And gets here ez’cry day. And nozv that zee have finished And mentioned everyone, We think when you haz e read this That zee zvill have to run. —Hazel Brown —Beatrice Nicholas
