N stands for Xaome, who has left us, I fear. 0 stands for Oakland, where business we’ll learn, P stands for Pass, when through studies you squirm. Q stands for Quarterback, we have none out here, R stands for Ralph, Oh, he was a dear! S stands for Seniors, the heads of the school, T stands for Tom, who will learn how to rule. U stands for “Flunk,” when report cards go home, V stands for Violet, who from us did roam, W stands for William, who needs not to learn. X stands for itself, the unknown term. Y stands for you, who are reading this ditty, Z stands for Zero, those who get it we pity. Many more pupils I well know have fame, But the alphabet’s short, so these I can’t name. I. G., 1915. OUR STUDIES. Mathematics, oh what joy, To every girl and every boy. Bookkeeping is our delight, Journalizing every night. Hist’ry of Commerce, well, I guess, Fills our hearts with happiness! Commercial Geography, who says hard? You are wrong. I am sure, my dear pard. Then that skilful work called Arts. We just adore with all our hearts. English we do love so well, We can not bear to hear the bell. (?) E. E. K., ’15. 137
