Leave him in, leave him in, we need someone to pass ' English IV, and all the rest of the junk, That, sure as fate, We're going' to flunk. We're flunking! We're flunking! But what can we do, With brains iddle-addle, 'and hang- overs, too? V We try to study, but fall sound asleep, Till the study hall teacher yanks.us out of our seat. This spring is, I think, the most mo- mentous spring Of our livesg not one of us knows a darned thing. Can we fool our teachers the rest of the year? We can't? So wihat? We have nothing to fear. If our lessons aren't perfect, out of class we are kicked. We're quitting, by golly, we know when We're licked. And if you will take the advice of a fool, Keep away from the profs of the Fairfield High School. -Julius Hammack
