Jacksonville High School - Crimson J Yearbook (Jacksonville, IL)

Page 27 text:

Senior Class Whan in the year of tweuty-twenty-wonne. The fall hadde come and high school hadde begunne, And every streete was filled with pupils gay With shiny faces and diverse array. And specially from every corner's ende Of Jacksonville to their High School they wende. Their strict and severe teachers for to seke. That them hath holpen five days in the weke, Bifel that, in the building there were seen Wonne hundred Freshmen very yonge and green. But of these youngsters you shall hear much more, For they became the Class of Twenty-Four. Kre long, their wisdom to the school was showne, Whan their election returns were made knowne. For Lewis, Curtis, Baldwin, Palmer Hunt, Of their work were made to bear the brunt. In athletics, debates, and parties too. They showed full well what that bright class could do. From early fall thru winter's hail and snow Until in May to classes they didde go. Full four years stayed this class at high school And well they managed to break every rule. Whan a Carnival stunt the Juniors hadde. The characters were surely far from hadde. For “Baby” Benson pledged himself for lyfe To l e Harold Hopper’s little, blushing wyfe; And whan they gave a Prom in twenty-three. They hadde much fun and great hilarity. Whan they were Seniors, with great dignity, Well didde they show superiority: For Hopper ledde his class to great renown: Well was it known throughout the entire town. Whan Spryngtyme came with every dred examine, Than didde the Seniors surely start to cramme. Whan smale fowles maken melodye, They studied all the night with ot en ye. For peevisch teachers would not let them shirk. And each wonne hadde to do some awful work. But graduation evening came at last. And than the ones who those exammes hadde passed, Grabbed their diplomas and were seen no more, For they hadde gone—this Class of Twenty-Four. (This metre just refuses to behave. Whan Chaucer hears it. he’ll turnne in his grave). Georgia Terhune, ’24. 'age Twenty-three
