M stands for McDowell, she’s saving of dimes, Next Michael and Murphy. We mention betimes, Mrohaly and Mullen, a name heard three times. M’s for McDonnell, McCorkindale too; McTigue, Mayer and Menger now come into view. M’s also for Moskovitz, Mettel and Minch, Miller and Molitor, who do well in a pinch. N is for Newberger, his first name is Max, Nygren and Nehls, who learn Salesmanship knacks. 0 stands for O'Connor, Patsy for short, lie always is willing and ready for sport. P’s for Palmer, Puska, Prosser and Peach, Four little girls who are easy to teach. Q is for quiet, the study room word, Though to one class of pupils, it seems very absurd. R is for Randolph, for Rayner and Rife, All wise, and all able to meet the world's strife. S is for Snyder, whom we know very well; In her seat she is found at the ring of the bell. S starts Selmanovitz, Shannon and Stark, Solomon and Soskin, who should sing like a lark. Then, too, Schwartz and Schmidt in the S’s must come, Smith and Snider, two people who sometimes chew gum. T’s for Thunhorst and Todd; two more of the bunch, Twitchell and Thomas on pretzels will lunch. U is for ugly, the way we each look, When it comes time to open some bothersome book. V is for virtues which all must possess, In order through life, to meet with success. W's for Weinberg, two Weiss’s, Wiseman and Weil, Woldman and Weiner, these are always in style. X is for Xavier, whom strangers admire; To finance this Annual’s his earnest desire. Y is for Young, who collects Senior dues, And helps with the Annual by bringing in news. Z’s the last letter to appear; since, in fine, None claim it, I’ll use it to fill in this line. LELAND WISEMAN, ’14. si

CLASS ALPHABET-1914. A’s for Abramsky, a girl bound for fame, Arnold and Appleby; they, too, have an aim. B stands for Berenbaum, Bernstein and Blasie, Brown, Barber and Bratburd, who never act lazy. Next Baker, Brady, Burger and Barry, Bratburd and Bolton, she vows never to marry. Of Breen, Berman and Bowman no secrets we’ll tell, Nor of Brown nor of Buesch who always mean well.

F brings us to Fawcett, to Fuhr and to Fried, To Fischer and Friedman, who on candy oft feed. G is for Galloway, Gilliland, Groth, Goldstein and Goldman, who at shorthand show sloth. Guhl, Goodman and Greenhut come in a mob. With Gaiser and Gedeon completing the job. H—Haag, Hansen and Herskovitz now fall into line. Heath, Henning and Henrichs for speed often pine. Hammer and Herwald, Herron and Horn, Hohman and Herschowitz; these are ne’er forlorn. I is for Isaac, the one I in the list, How sadly if not here, this lass would be missed. J’s for Jelinek and Jokay; there’s two of them each, For Jacques, Luella, who can stand up and preach. K’s for Kilfoyle, for Kirian and Krauss, Kerr and Kamnetzky; there are two of that house.
