20 THE MOUNTAINEER Rah, Rah, Rah! Rah, Rah, Rah! Rah, Rah, Rah! Rickety axe, co-axe, co-axe. Whoo-a-a-a-a-a Sophomore, Sophomore, Sophomore! Listen, my children, and you shall hear How my heart was stolen by Pearson Greer, ’Twas in the English class, and he had just quit Reading these words, ' “Jessica sit.” I said, “He’ll forget and not use his girls name,” But he got it back on me, just the same. He said these words which he did not mean, “Instead of Jessica, I’ll say Pauline.” In grateful memory of our lesson in “The Merchant of Venice.” Pauline. You folks who wish to break a rule, Had better not come to H. H. School, For every time you speak the teachers hear it, And slap by your name , A black demerit. Some people think, “Oh, one ain’t much,” But did you know that there is such A rule right here? To you I’ll tell. You only get ten, Then the teacher you expel. But after all this rule isn’t rough, It’s kinder lenient and good enough, But tell you what, sakes alive, For going up town, why I got five. Since I’ve been in school this is my biggest sin, Now I’ve reformed. I’ll not do it again. Pauline Orr, 9th Grade.
