THIRTY-FIVE Past: (Enter Junior Class.) Hail, Junior Class, to see you I'm glad. 1 bring bright recollections of the sorrowing and sad. Present: I'll show you as the world of today Sees you in your work and play. Future: I'll give you the pleasure of looking on, While the gay tomorrows pass in a throng. Past: The pot is bubbling and boiling over. Quick, sister, stoop and lift the cover. Past: (A large, awkward boy, trying to hid a scared and cowed expres sion by a look of bravado, steps from the pot.) Do you not yourself in this guise As a dumb Freshman recognize? Jr. Class: That 1 looked like that 1 cannot believe. Past: Are you sure the pot does not deceive? The pot that boils upon the fire Is not a fake or a liar. Now come forth, one by one. The lessons that you first begun. (Enter Latin, English, Algebra, General Science, and Cooking.) Give way, give way to the dancing sprites, Who laugh and quarrel and engage in fights. Jr. Class: (Appears boys and girls looking about six years old.) But we were Freshmen 'while ago— Past: Why these children? 1 do not know. What a slender thread your memory is; Present: This is your Sophomore party of kids. Sister, you've taken too much time; We only have left eight minutes or nine. Step gaily forth from the earthen pot And show this young man what he thinks he's not. Present: (A boy and girl step forth.) They act as if they own the world and the knowledge in it. But the world laughs on, as you will see in a minute. Future: Say no more, sister dear; I'll give you a view of the following year. (Enter a group of boys and girls in formal attire.) This represents some joys to come; Your banquet will be lots of fun. Past: (Enter group in graduating gowns.) Stand and witness, sigh and smile; Here's how you'll be in a little while. The time is up, the fire is low, And, Junior Class, you'll have to go. Page 23
