r rrr- k V-x( - r Our Juniors Down on Russell Street in Hammond, Are a group of Jolly Juniors. There they go for work or pleasure There they learn to make a living. From the lips of their Director, From the one who planned this school, They are given words of wisdom, They are given words of warning — “Here you’re given many chances, Here you’re taught the jobs in life, Some may learn to be machinists, Forge, and shop, and draft, and math. And the girls have equal chances, For they learn to cook and sew; Or they learn to type and steno, Count upon a machine, just so. Here you learn the art of working, Here you learn co-operation. You are being self-supporting, Here you’re doing worthwhile things. Soon these twenty -three young Juniors, Are to be the staid old Seniors, Teaching all of the new Freshmen, To be loyal to our school. Page 28
