R is for Rosenberg, for Riggs, and for Rose, Raus, Rogers and Reilly as every one knows. R’s also for Raybon, the second team’s ‘cap’: Who made his team work with vigor and snap. S stands for Smill, a mild senior lass; For Smith, who a ‘stenog’ will be if he pass. T is for Thacker, witty and wise, For Tuma, whose worth ought to win him a prize. T’s also for Turney. Of them there are two; Of such handsome young people we find very few. IT is for UNION. In this we grow strong: With it as our slogan we’d never go wrong. V is for vacation, which soon will be here, The one best time of all the school year. W is for Wieck, Wlecke and Weiss. Also for Weel, whose hair looks real nice. X is an unknown. For failures ’twill stand. May its value be zero. It is much in demand. Y is for Yesberger, charming to meet. Also for Yeolson, in debate sure to beat. Z is for Zipser, so smart and so small He’s seldom seen ‘hanging around’ in the hall. THOMAS ALBERTSON, 1912. 58
