P's for Palmer, Puska, Prosser and Peach, Four little girls who are easy to teach. Q is for quiet, the study room word, Though to one class of pupils, it seems very absurd. R is for Randolph, for Rayner and Rife, All wise, and all able to meet the world's strife. S is for Snyder, whom we know Very well, In her seat she is found at the ring of the bell. S starts Selmanovitz, Shannon and Stark, Solomon and Soskin, who should sing like a lark. Then, too, Schwartz and Schmidt in the S's must come, Smith and Snider, two people who sometimes chew gum. T's for Thunhorst and Todd, two more of the bunch, Twitchell and Thomas on pretzels will lunch. U is for ugly, the way we each look, When it comes time to open some bothersome book. V is for virtues which all must possess, In order through life, to meet with success. W's for Weinberg, two Weiss's, Wiseman and Weil, Woldman and Weiner, these are always in style. X is for Xavier, whom strangers admire, To finance this Annual's his earnest desire. Y is for Young, who collects Senior dues, And helps with the Annual by bringing in news. Z's the last letter to appear, since, in fine, None claim it, I'll use it to fill in this line. LELAND WISEMAN, '14 51
