JUNIOR cLAss Poem. In nineteen hundred and twelve our fame began, And we were known as the Freshie elang A happier bunch you never did see, 'That entered the E. H. S. than we. Our class it numbered twenty-nine strong, And we never did anything really wrong: We passed the exams with honors great, XVere seldom absent, and never late. Toward the close of the year our one great aim Was to write Sophomore after our name. In nineteen hundred and thirteen you find us back As Sophies in the E. H. S. But alack- The class was not as large as of yoreg We scarcely numbered twenty-four. But we were the same jolly old set, For the number did not worry us one bitg VVe had only one object in view, Tolpass the exams, and thus slip through The Juniors' place was then our aim, For that would add to our future fame. ln nineteen hundred and fourteen a new faculty we find lVhen we return as juniors to freshen each mind. Our class has now dropped to just one score, Although our aim was twenty-four. A more industrious class you cannot hndg lVe leave all others far behind. Oft war and devastation cloth appal, And leave the taste of wormwood and of gall: But we try to keep cheerful. and do our best, For we take the lead in the E. H. S. XVith patience rare, we are striving to attain That rank and bear the Senior name, Mary E. Grandey, 'l6.

Happy Helen, who's our country classmate, Walks in each morning and says it's great. Merry Mabel, with surname Crall, Believes pride goeth before a fall. Hasty Harold, he won't get history. lNhen he ever studies, is surely a mystery. Doleful Dorothea, who seldom doth smile, Studies forever, and all the while, Mysterious Mary, blackhaired Mary D., Says that horrid Geometry, she simply can't see. Energetic CPD Enos, who cares for the tin, Says very much study is a terrible sin. Laughing Leafa, with one sad plaint, Oh, give me that chamois, I've forgotten my paint Emphatic Echo, who sings like a lark, And spends moonlight evenings up in the park. Ambitious August, Virgil under his arm, Goes out to conquer, on his father's big farm. Melodious Marjorie, the girl who is tall, Says the average boy knows nothing at all. Then willing William, a cute country lad, Once you know him, you'll never be sad. ...nr- Dear dimpled Donna, with red-golden locks, Who comes late to school, on account of the clocks. And then laddie Leo, the boy with a car, NVho carries the opinion that he is the star. Wishing NVilma, the girl with brown eyes, The way she sings is sure a surprise. Mimicking Maurice, Bologna as shorter, Is one of those boys who is surely a corker. Rambling Ruth, you know that's me, Of whom the less is said, the better 'twill be,
