16 THE MOUNTAINEER Our sweet “little” Nelle is aw¬ fully smart, And is quite dutiful. She stars in Latin and in French, And is quite beautiful. Sweetest of girls is May Belle G., Lee Allen thinks ’tis truq. In music May Belle is a star, She stars in English, too. Raymond Glenn, class treasurer, In Math is very smart; He’s a very mischievous lad sometimes, But has a real soft heart. Quite a mathematician too, Is Mr. Horace Gray. Also renouned as a football star, Both here and far away. A glowing star is Willie Lou, She excels in all her classes, In all her studies she is good, But in Latin she surpasses. Homer McKinna, the quiet boy, Never has much to say; But studies hard and likes the girls In his own quiet way. The next in line I must not name, My modesty’s too great, Altho she tries to keep the Pace, And this poem is from her pate. Ruth Williams is last upon the roll, Our pretty brown-eyed girl; She always gets her French and Math. Her hair, it will not curl. Have I convinced you, friends, at last, About the Junior Class? In studies, plays, debates and all, You see we all surpass. In one more year we’ll seniors be, And we’ll face the world serene, Quite sure that it will crown us all The Class of ’17. Alyce Pace. The A. 6. C. of the H. H. S. A stands for Atheletics, both girls’ and boys’; When we happen to win we make lots of noise. B stands for Blackstock, our Professor kind, We all do love him, but he makes you mind. C stands for a very hard problem in Math, When a Junior must put forth all the brains that he hath. D stand for deportment on which we should try, For if we’re not perfect our parents’ll know why.

THE MOUNTAINEER Yell Zuchen, Zuchen, Zuchen! Ruhmore, Ruhmore, Ruhmore! Suchen, Suchen, Suchen! Junior! Junior! Junior! Class The Juniors can a secret keep, It is our strictest rule, ’ But this is one that I must tell: We’re the very best class in school. Now don’t you doubt, it’s surely true, We’re brilliant stars each one. And so to prove this wondrous thing I’ll name them, just for fun. Frank Bly shines brilliantly in Math, A famed athlete is he, He’s president, too, of the Junior Class, And as nice as he can be. Laurence also stars in Math, His surname, too, is Bly; He, like Frank, is fond of the girls, But, alas! he’s very shy! Gaither Briggs is our orator, His voice is deep and loud, Some day the Junior Class will be Of Gaither very proud. If you’re doubtful in history, Crinkley is sure to know. In that one thing he’s quite a star, Miss Hill will tell you so! Poem Carrie D. is next enrolled, A star in French is she. She is a friend to everyone, And sweet as she can be. ' Miss Dermid stars in penmanship, She always has and will; In History she is also fine, Of Math she’s had her fill! In History Albert Dixon stars, As well as in Debate, He comes to school ’most every day Altho he’s sometimes late. Jean Drake’s the only girl in school That never makes a noise. In composition she’s a star, I think she likes the boys. Miss Duncan next is on the roll, Our dusky-headed Mary, She’d rather study Botany Than work a corollary. Next on the roll Miss Fuller comes, Class secretary she. She’s good in studies, plays, de¬ bates; An all-round star, you see.

G stands for Geometry with which we must battle, Hard? Gracious me! our very brains rattle. H stands for History, stories of nations, Without all of which we’d have poor educations. I stands for ink with which we may write, Tho often our writing is just out of sight. J stands for joyful; that’s what we’ll be, When the last of school days we happily see. i ' ll .73 K stands for a kick that we ought to be given, If to our lessons we have to be driven. ; L for Literary Society stands, With Miss B. as leader, obey commands! M stands for Math in all of the Grades, As our exams draw near such knowledge fades.
