Volume IX THE BRONCO 19 Mid-Term Class History In 1910, four long years ago— A band of students, whom you may know. Organized a most wonderful Freshman Class, Which for all-round excellence did all others surpass. The following year as Sophomores bright. We scored success and won honors right. As Juniors, too, we held high reputation, For we always made A's with scarce preparation. But as Seniors mighty, we’ve made the great hit, For the teachers all know and we know that we re it. Tho' only fifteen in number—some may call us small— When it comes to learning, they’ve nothing on us at all. Of course, you're eager to know every name That this class has given to the Hall of Fame. So, give me the pleasure of presenting Wynne Woolley— Class beauty, class orator, class—oh, well he’s bully. This one is Edith, so talkative and gay— Next to Vernelle, who’s always sleepy they say. (But we can forgive her, she’s a Virgil shark. ) There’s Mary, so still, so sober, so good. It’s rumored that she wouldn’t have a good time if she could. Oh, Yes—Catherine is the name of a wee little lass. And (would you believe it?) she has more Wisdom than any one else in the class. Except that tall brunette, Homer McNew, Who is most a freeman and knows English too. And here’s Olive Owens, so dainty, so blonde, so petite, And Beatrice, the songster, with voice so sweet. And mischievous Ned, not of First Reader fame. But a merry young boy, who puts fun in the game. Now Charlie's the gigling girl who often declares That laughter’s a tonic that banishes cares. And Harlan, why he never does study, is as bright as can be. Just association with William has caused it, I see.

On His Ignorance When I consider how my time is spent Ere half this period in this room so cold, And that one book which I ought to study Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith Professor, and present My lesson learned, lest he returning chide, Doth 'Prof.' exact my lesson, sense denied? I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies, 'Prof.1 doth not need My study or my lesson. Who most Laugh at his jokes, they serve him best. His power Is mighty: dozens at his orders speed. And study all the night-time without rest; They also serve who only sit and laugh. -OPAL JONES

Influence Seek to have the world grow brighter ‘Neath the influence of thy love; Try to make each heart grow lighter. And its sterling worth to prove. Shed the sunbeams all around thee. Scatter them both far and wide; Their glad light will soon surround thee And reflect on every side. Meet the glance of doubt or chiding With a smiling one of love; Prove that thou art safe abiding In the strength of heaven above. Try to find the brightness hiding ‘Neath each cloud of doubt or sin; For each future woe providing By a fund of joy within. Through the ages, swiftly, surely. Love will gain the victory; And thine influence sweetly, purely. Brings its harvest back to thee.
