L is for Leopold. In athletics he’s cool. And he will compete with the best in the school. M stands for Meier, as actor he’s grand. As a fisher lands fish, applause he can land. N is for Nap, the chef of our school: “To please people’s taste” is his every-day rule. O is for Olsen, the hist'ry class pet. Who organized the “Three-fifteen Club,” with regret P is for Porter, our full-back, right strong. Who, unmindful of work, the team helped along. Q is the letter that now needs a place. We merely shall use it to fill in the space. R’s for Romanis who played on each team; But as a player of foot-ball he was all to the cream. S stands for Smith, of them there are three. For Snell, Strauss, Spernoga, and others you see. S stands for Steigerwald, who in plays took the prize And also for Satink who’s gentle and wise. T stands for Tobin, a debater, he; Who some day will a great orator be. U is for USELESS, a word we despise. It reminds us of hist’ry; brings tears to our eyes. V’s for Vobornik, for veterans too, Who to foot-ball stuck fast as wood sticks to glue. W’s for Weintraub, a lad of renown, Who basket ball plays with the best men in town. For X and for Y we scarce have the time. But still we will use them to fill out this rhyme. Z comes the last. Of Zaks there are two. With this closes our rhyme, and we bid you adieu. 41
