NAUGHTY N:-ir ip o Q 4 1911 wx X. . M E SENIOR Virg Logan, our dignified Senior gay, Aspired one day to Hy away. Above the tree tops and clouds hovering low, Far from his taunting school-mates below. But why did our school-mate attempt such a Hi To leave us below and pass from our sight. For many a night he'd been trying to cram, To credibly pass the final exam. So when the dreaded hour drew near, There grew in his heart a terrible fear. A fear that he also might not pass, And could no longer be in the Senior class. So up he flew to escape all schools, And never more be bothered by rules. But up in that broad expanse of blue. He grew tired, and hungry and lonesome too, For no Mary was there to cheer his days With her noisy laugh and taking ways. He said. The sky's not a good place to be, Mary's eyes are blue enough for me. So repenting his rashness and folly too, He came back to earth to start anew. To all our joy and his taunter's sorrow, He appeared in class again on the morrow. gm M. E. D. '11 F Q! EE i g ' 8 ' esjgvggxfx

Then when the lessons were over, and the work of the day was completed. Swiftly they hurrid away, to the scene of the Basket Ball practice There on the floor midst the players stood Cockrell teaching them team work For, in his estimation this practice was needed in brainwork. But mingled with all of this pleasure. the Seniors worked on their Physics. And at the end of the quizes, earned all the grades that he gave them. One day rang the bell in the beltry, and from all parts of the High School Pupils marched to the class room, but the air was full of mischief For all the Seniors agreed, that they too long had been quiet, And on the walls of the schoolroom, much to the woe of the Juniors Hung their beautiful pennant, the work of six fun loving Seniors Loud from the pavement below, arose the shouts of the painters Who tastefully had adorned the walk with the emblem of the Senior's, Showing the signs of a contest between the Seniors and Juniors Thus with work and play we happily passed through the High School. Then thanks to teachers and schoolmates, we won by varied experiences A record of four useful school years, years of many achieve- ments.
