Senior Class History--Page 2 'The Freshmen found high school was much dlfferent from grade schoo There were not so many subjects to study but they were much harder There was one subject that was the queerest thing If you didn't know what it was about, you just said, Let X be it Then finally you know what the answer was, even though you didn't know what it was all about Then there was a subject they called history, but it was all about dates, only not the kind you eat 'Afterwhile the freshmen found that another schoo After vacation when they went back to school again they anymore but they were sophomores Being a sophomore was freshman, only different A sophomore thinks he knows green, awkward freshman, only he doesn't He just thinks tle boys and girls werent little anymore but they were cr year had passed weren't freshmen just like belnv a much more than he does Our lib own up sophomores class meetlngs And you know lf the faculty is pleased with their work they Vell, they had some other queer things to study They bisected angles, and dissected frogs but bisecting an angle and dissecting a frog are just as different as eating toadstools and mushrooms But the sophomores had time being sophomores They were glad they had studied hard when they were little as their teachers had told them to so they could go to high school nThen school was out again and the boys and girls went home to play? No, they dldn't po home to play this summer, for they were grown up now, or they thought they were So they spent some of their time worklng They had to act grown up, for the next fall when ther went back to high school they were juniors Now juniors are queer people They know much more than the sophomores and freshmen but they are afraid of the class above them, they spend most of the year giving them parties and banquets, and planning commencement events for them They are servants for the high and mighty fouryear folks 'After the Junior ear was over, and vacatlon had come to an end, w a do you think happened? NQ,the school building didn't burn No, they d1dn't have any Christmas tree Well, I'lltell you what happened Vhen the Jun iors went back to school again, they weren't freshmen they weren't sopho mores they weren't juniors They were S9nlOPS1 They found out seniors were the highest and the greatest class in school And when seniors are seniors, whether they study or not,the faculty looks up to them because thq' are seniors And the juniors look up to them because ther are seniors And the sophomores and the freshmen are afraid of them because they are S6Ul0PS Seniors vet to do a lot of things They et to go to banquets They have graduate H And so it happened that after twelve long years the little boys an girls of this story grew into seniors After these boys and girls become Seniors they are given the great tion's capital, Washington, in the District of Columbia I nSo,Sonny Boy,from this story school of Yersev School, and what hard work And some day, if you llke the senlors of nineteen hundr t a dlploma Sonny Boy senior of Kersey High School too 3 Q fl' ' ,f opportunity to visit and tour our Na you see that SENIORS are a class in high they came to be after years of study and study you too can be a SENIOR, and just ed and fifty six, you will graduate and nMother, I like that story Some day I am going to be a V' ' ' 1. 1 1 3 . . ll ll , O U f Q ' l , .
