THE LIFE OF A HIGH SCHOOL STl'llENT. Some little Freshmen came to school With action very shyg They listened to their algebra And there was many a sigh. Then the exes came their way That made many a pupil fade: But some survived the awful day, Though many a blunder made. The next year they came as Sophs And grew so very Wise, That they could tell you every name And everybody's size. Geometry they mastered well, Though no ones they had: ln German and Latin they excelledg In English they were bad. As Juniors they were very bright And never burned much oil. For the Seniors all had told them To get knowledge without toil. No more they'll burn the oil at night For ones that bring a smile: There never was a Senior class With so much grit and mirth: You really would think they were Seniors From the very first day of birth For dignity no one could excel them, For knowledge they would cram, Chemistry, History and Lating No wonder they looked so jammed. In May are these Seniors to leave us? At parting our grief will be great, For Bessie, Edna and Willie And Bob will be stricken from the slate. With Edna and Iva as mates: And they'll think of us Juniors and Freshies And the mischief they used to make. IN REGARD TO THE FRESHIES. Alumnae- Alas! Regardless of their doom The little pygmies playg No sense have they of ills to come, Nor care beyond a day. These Juniors have to Seniors grown Seniors- And now they know a pile. Of manners gentle, of affections mildg Gray
