THE ORANGE AND BLACK TO OURSELVES We all think lots of our teachers And we think they love us too, For they never, never scold us For anything we do. Mr. Guyer thought our Civics class Was the best he ever saw, We were all so very very bright That he never had to jaw. Do they? Did he? Brown just loves our chemistry class .is our experiments are the best, And we never get below one hundred lu the hardest kind of a test. Mr. Townsend thinks his Ag class ls the brightest every day, For he always gives them credit For anything' they say. Mr. Brown likes our History class lle thinks weire all so wise, Why, he never asks a question liut what some one doesn't rise. Do we? Doesn't he? Don 't they? Miss Breese thinks we're clever in Latin We can read Virgil by the page, And we never miss constructions Only, once in 'bout' an age. Do we? We were industrious Seniors And never looked away from work No matter how hard our lessons, We were never known to shirk. Were we if

,THE ORANGE. AND BLACK 214 As I entered the street again I was attracted by a newsboy calling UEXtra. The headline of the paper read, Salesgirl Falls Heir to Large Es- tate. Reading the article a little further, I learned that Miss Opal Crosby, salesgirl of Peoples Furnishing company had come into possession of a 551,000,000 fortune. How it happened remains a mystery, because Opal just disappeared and no one has ever heard from her since. -The question is whether she will be able to spend all that money. She might share it with the rest of us. What do you say, Seniors? As I call to mind the twenty-three members of the Class of 1924, I think of three members of whom I have not been able to account. Let us imagine ourselves back along the banks of the old Maumee. There we shall see two maidens, Miss Garnet Manor and Miss Mary Carr. Miss Manor and Miss Carr, disappointed in love, resolved to find happiness in each other 's companionship. They selected the banks of the old Maumee as the site of their beautiful resi- dence. Here we find them living in a secluded, adventuresome, yet happy life. The last member of the Class of '24, we find much more fortunate. We see our classmate. Miss Mae Heyman, now the housewife of a very rich farmer. She seems very happy, as it is said she sings continually during' the performance of her household duties. As I walked to my hotel that evening, I thought of our class motto, We launch tonig1ht,.where shall we anchor? It is pleasing to know that all of thc class have anchored, although some of us have not anchored in a very good harbor, yet you will always find the members of the class of twenty and four ever striving onward and upward toward the attainment of higher goals. iXuqg3x1,YV'u rd- .-LI ' .1 its FIG -'N K 5833 3512 12645. ilfw
