a hr COuutamtus 13 In Latin, too, we knew the dif. between a noun and verb. And our knowledge of the gerund and gerundive was superb. But in Chemistry the tide of battle crushed us to the rear; We’d approach the door with bated breath, our knees would shake with fear; We would fuss and fume with chemicals; each change in state we’d note; While we’d have to give it credit that the blamed stuff had our goat. And in Botany, we’d botanize with wisdom really wise; But what we were not sure of, we would bluffingly surmise. Then in German—why we almost read the cover off the book; Our translations caused instructors to forever use the hook To extract the dullest students from the chaos in the class, Until they had us placed into another senseless mass. And for talent, we have ever led the race by several lengths, We put it up in packages, of different size and strength. And we dealt it out when notified, and always took first place In athletics and the other higher branches, at a pace That, without a doubt, left all the other classes far behind, And we know that they feel slighted and consider it unkind For the Senior bunch to grab up all the honors that pass by. Instead of standing in the shade to let the others try To gain a place in history, to show the world what they Are capable of doing in a do-or-daring way. Now to bid good-bye to high school, with a sigh of deep regret. Which will show the rest how earnest were our efforts here to get All the little scraps of knowledge and the crumbs of common sense To sustain us thru the trials we’re sure to have in some years hence, And to leave our good example shining out to those around, Just to give a sort of impetus to things almost aground. To the Juniors we bequeath our place and wish them all the joy Of the leadership in school affairs. May troubles ne’er annoy Their final lap in high school, and unmeasured happiness, We hope for every student in our dear old L. H. S.
