Covington High School - Lest We Forget Yearbook (Covington, KY)

AS YOU LIKE IT. We have here among us twelve teachers most learned, And when they've controlled us their money they've earned. Ye Student Staff incomes would gladly receive, For all of your members its needs do perceive. Devoted to Orpheus, our Glee Club of boys, But all they accomplish resembles harsh noise. Debates do the civics class proudly achieve, They hold courts of justice and furnish the thieves. In football and baseball and all other games, The athletes of High School a great name do claim. Ye Chorus, take warning, beware sudden death From overtaxation and much wasted breath. In drama their histrionic powers some show, Their plays are quite good, but their acting's so slow. Ye chemists are strongest in smash-ups and smell, VVhile oft from their room comes a wild, piercing yell. EDA HERRM.ANN, 'o9. COX'S ARMY. This is Cox's little army, Four long years of service A merry, good-natured clang With this educational band, Not a hobo among them, It's hard to make such dullards . Like the other Cox's gang. Be able to understand. Not like the other army, That in the years that are to come Out of sight, out of miud g No matter in what estate, This little army is made of stuff They will think of Cox's army, That is mighty hard to find. And wish to change the date. WILLIAM J. SANDFORD. C627

Beatrice then entertained them with a Comedy of E1'raf's which she had encountered in Freshman English in a high schoolg and, as some of her remarks burned our ears, Ophelia and I began our retreat. We were not at a very great distance when we heard King Henry reminding them that they had gathered there for the purpose of discussing the works of the fairies of the realm, At that Ophelia and I departed as swiftly as possible, for we had a particular interest in those fairies, and did not wish to hear any more.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE. HI just think itis too mean ! XVhat do you think of that! NVe never can learn all that in one night. VVasn't she mad, though! These remarks, with others too numerous to mention, fell from the lips of a class of high school girls and boys, as they filed out of the recitation room after a lesson in English. A stranger would have thought a riot was threatening. judging from the indignant expressions on the faces of the pupils. They soon stopped talking about it-whatever it was-however, for they all went upstairs to the study room after English class. At noon several girls held an indignation meetingi' in the yard. They were juniors, and when pupils become juniors, they hate to be punished. The very idea! said Rosalie. To try to make us mem- orize all that stuff to-night! A basketball game this afternoon, too!,' groaned Betty. VVel1, we just wonyt do it! exclaimed Polly, energetically. The boys are just as mad as we are. Let's go to her house and tie her in her bedroom, darkly suggested Madge, the impractical one. VVe'll Imwe to think of some plan, agreed all. f'Yes, but what ? asked Nethla, who had remained quiet up to this time. h Oh, something terrible, answered all the girls with delight- ful lucidness! Neth, you ought to be able to think of something, said Betty. You're smarter than we are. Now, stir around, and we'll outwit the madamf' K'XVell, I hnfzfe thought of something! Now, keep still, girls, and I'll tell you. The girls all put their heads together, while Neth revealed her plan. Wlieii she finished, four excited girls jumped up, with varied exclamations of delight, and four hands clapped Nethla vigorously on the back. 'Q C637
