4 THE PIONEER CLASS POEM Readers of this Pioneer, so pabuious, This may be a little too fabulous, But I’ll not attempt with words preparative To mitigate this simple narrative, For it might stir your mind alluritive If I should make it shiveritive. Harold Jackson, our president most lenient, Oft finds the Senior Class most inconvenient, Because amidst such friskiness, He really is taking too much riskiness. But the way he bluffs that English stuffiness Makes the teacher filled with much huffiness. Among our band we have a lad, laborious, Who with his lessons is most glorious (?) Harold Knapp, that lad most knickerish, Will beat you all if you’re not quickerish. For as our editor, I’ll let you know, Sirs, That he is far from being slow, Sits. Natalie Scott, a girl most experimentally, Really got her Virgil one day accidentally. The teacher asked such questions, numerous, It appeared to the others most humorous, Until they all agreed surmisinglv That Natalie was a student most surprisingly. Philip Wilcox, that one, so flabbergasted, Has with his brains all others outlasted. Such a one, I think, should curb his agility, (I’m frank, but mean no incivility) For one, who is so uproarious As Phil, will not come out victorious.

T II E I’ I O N E E R 5 Eleanor’s wisdom fills all with curiosity, Which they can’t restrain with no matter what pomposity. She can read German and Latin at sight, So you see that is why she is so bright; And even as valedictorian, honorious, She holds the first place most victorious. That lass, Elsie, most thriftily, Can dance away most kniftily; And my, but she can talk cleverly To her many friends foreverly. A teacher she’ll be some day, Who will win great renown, they say. And now that all is said most heartily, I hope it’ll not make you feel too startily, For if I’ve stirred your quiet solicitude With this outrageous, irregular nonsensitude, I beg you free me from any fatality And I will at once leave the locality. —N. S., ’17.
