'All the strife which may have been harbored in the hearts of our older classmates was brought to an end by the junior-Senior Prom, held at Vtlilkes' Pavilion.

Here the little Juniors are, Oh! See the noble Seniors The mighty Seniors say. Stand with high and lofty air, But think how very small they were To-morrow how they'll quake with fear A year ago to-day. And wish they were not there. Our colors bright we'll wave high, And then we'll rejoice to see The purple and the gold, Their wisdom put to test. And sing hurrah to '24, For though they have looked down on us The brightest class e'er told. VVe're coming out the best. CHORUS: Oh! The jolly little Juniors, Tr la la la la Oh! The staid and mighty Seniors, Tra la la la la la la la. I '-1: -f.:, 4.f. 1- :syfi
