They come into the schoolhouse, Go roaring down the halls, Hut their laughter’s not much louder Than are the Seniors’ bawls. They’re sneered and jeered and tossed about, “Stand in the corner, you.” And there’s not a soul to cheer ’em up When their souls are feeling blue. “The Freshmen are so fresh, indeed.” Said one Junior to me, And on and on these people rave Till all join their plea. If anything goes one hit wrong. It’s Freshmen did it sure. Don’t you think they should be praised For the way they do endure? And talk about initiating. That lasts all the year. Hut it’s better than the eighth grade. For it’s not e’en thought of here. Pagre 29

While primary teachers groaned. Good children, bad children. Some of each degree. Talkative girls and mischievous boys-All will agree. Soon the spring rolled around; The busy schools shut down. Some didn’t pass as others did ; Some moved from Chester town. Second and third and so on up, These children went their ways. Grumbling at their lessons hard. Glorying in holidays. Laughing, playing, never dreaming Of their destinies ahead. On these children went a playing. Reckless of lives they led. Eight years quickly rolled along, And students excited and fearful Joined hands that they might better meet Their high school days eventful. Page 28

According to the first year’s estimates Freshies’ souls are midnight blue. Mr. Goranson threatens to ’lectrocute them, Miss Rurmeister preaches to shame, Mr. Simmons tries to choke them ah And regards it only sane. There are many, many of them And to the school they lend Music, poems, drawings, songs, Talent in every trend. Imagine the teachers’ great surprise When in musical shows, Faculty take-offs, or club programs, These Freshmen are on their toes. The stars foretell that Freshmen are lucky, That their futures will be bright, If a fine set of personal habits They will only keep in sight. Some are noted for their wit Which they modestly hide, I»ut some day it will blossom forth To be known both far and wide. Page 30
