Like all young Scotchmen fine. A bright ycung man with high I. Q. Is Morris Austin, Esquire; To the White House he will go— That sure is our desire. Helen and Margaret have always been A very charming pair; Off to college they will go To get a society air. Our fair violinists have won The heart of Every person; Viola and Neva of talent great Deserve our admiration. Laugh, and the world laughs with you Dorothy and Clara say. And we all agree right with them, For they laugh the live long day. Leon and Burr are boys who wish That every single day Would dawn to be an ‘April Fool So t’would be safer tricks to play. For quietness and modesty Mildred and Marian Cannot, we say. e’er be excelled— A lady is each one. Hope Harding is a real artist And talented indeed; While Barbara Parks the fashions set For all of those in need. Frances Barber was with us— A singer we thought she’d be; But some one else has won the prize. So differently we see. A warm spot in our hearts we hold For all the football boys; Our jolly Russell. Speed and Carl— In this line were our joys. A new one in our class this year Was young Paul Van Sickler; Another one we welcomed here Was Mr. John E. Freer. And now we’ve held them up, dear friends. For your approving eye; We bid you all a fond farewell— Adieu, Good Night, Good Bye.
