You know whom they were talkin’ about ?— That’s right—The freshman class! You could hear ’em talkin’, Just as plain as plain could be. Thought I’d sorta listen. To see what the}' said about me. And then I heard one say— “Oh! This one would be o.k.— If he was a Hit taller. And the big one would be too, If he was a little smaller.” They just kept a talkin’, You know—this and that— And then I heard one say— “Oooooo! He’s too fat”. Thought I’d just ignore ’em, And let ’em walk right past— But before’ I go— I want you to know— I’m bettin’ on the freshman classf •' -fV S iA Page Eighteen
