Oft' we longed for Friday eve, So that we might take some leave Of our books. And again on Monday morn We appeared here quite forlorn, As it looks. But We worked geometry, Till we thought that we could see Angles' sides, And we delved into our Latin, Had it down as smooth as satin, And besides: Studied history, then, too, Worked at English till we knew Most by heart, Silas Marner, poetry Shakespeare's dramas, don't you see Like a Chart. Two more years are left to spend In this schoolg oh, in the end May we say That we worked with all our might, That we tried to do what's right, Every day. Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous leaves of dark green,

Q im., my.. mx... x. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Oh, yes, our first year is overg We thank good fortune for that, For We shall no longer be victims Of others' satirical chat. g But we've had good times S regardless, We've learned of many new things, We've- studied our books with great vigor, From math to old Latin kings. Oh, We've shown those upper classmen How to lead the honor roll, And that is something, kind reader, For that was always our goal. Oh, yes, this year's been a big one, Q ' With times of joy and of strife, .,., Sometimes, perhaps, we'll even .7 Q. admit as M--I-if That these Were the best days of life. And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of myself
