wg, .gig Q The Wonderful Sophomore Class CWith Due Apologies To O. W. Holmesj Have you heard of that wonderful Sophomore class, That built the pep that will always last, It has run two years to a day, And then, of a sudden, it-ah, but stay I'll tell you what happened without delay, Scaring the people into fits, Frightening the teachers out of their wits- Have you heard of that class, I say? Now in building to studies, I tell you what, There is always somewhere a weakening spot, In English we seem to get a thrill, In Algebra we are trying still, But History is just like taking a pill, Above or below or within or without- And that's the reason, beyond a doubt, That we sometimes break down, but never wear ou Mr. Davis inquired of each lad and lass Where he could find a high school class That is full of pep and really has An open mind and a willing heart, An eye to health and the important part Which it should play in high school work, A steadfast purpose that does not shirkg A cooperative spirit and one which feels The intrinsic worth of high ideals. When he asked that, do you suppose Any one hesitated? No, all arose With one accord. You could hear the roars Clear down the street of HSOPHOMORESX' Ah, said Mr. Davis, We'll put them through, Perhaps, after all, we'll find they'1l do. Do! I tell you, I rather guess That class is a wonder, and nothing less! Babes will become grown-ups, beards will turn gray, Teachers and learners, will all pass away, Children and grandchildren-ah, but say, You never will find one to surpass That 1927-'28 Sophomore class.
