Oflicers- President, Bethel Russell. Secretary, Edith Bailey. You may laugh when we say' it, But. 'tis the truth That this is 'the class that's captured the booth We are shary as a whip And bright as its string, For there lsn't a thing! But our maidens can't bring. And we to our teachers will it so. That sometimes, through pity, they lat us go. For geornery go to Miss tAy:1rsy she will show How simply the problems go. lnstruoting in Caesar Miss Edith tBaileyl shows how Those simple endings are just somehow. Our English class will surely pass The rules of any school. So there's no need to say. that day after day, CLASS CF 1912 Colors-Red and green. Flower-Dark Red Rose. WHO ARE WE? Our lessons we always have. For when Nell looks at Bess and says Oh Gee Have you read your lesson over? Then like a shot, Miss Green gets hot And makes us run for cover. These three 'irls mentioned above Comprlse the palm of the Sophie glove. Now our next study you see is Physical Geography Ollie and Bethel there hold first place And they, n most everything, set the pace. The boys hold no place as you see, For their No. amts only to three. But the boys are so fast That when their school times are past In honor's place, in Hall of Fame, In letters of gold you'll find each name.
