A BIT OF UNEQUIVOCAL METRICALITY ORIGINATED, DESIGNED, PRODUCED, AND SOLEMNLY DEDICATED TO THE CLASS OF 1925 By RALEIGH PHIPPS Herman Megeff—Tennis—a wondrous speedy exquisite combination. Glenn McClatchey, a commanding, thrilling, spell-binding oration. Then there’s Paul—tall, brave, quiescent, tried and true. And Steve Maeras, possessing altitude and a number eleven shoe. Mabel Everett, silent, composed, on a plane with the moon, Elizabeth, our Lizzie,” studious, hard-working, and always in tune. And Nadene, vampish, plump, not extremely short; Here's Mildred, but don't razz her—a blaspheme you’ll exhort. Eddie Miller,—a baseball, a typewriter, and his Irene—a child. John Schooley, pugnacious, oratious, a moustache running wild. George Steinger, a basketball, his women, his roadster,—a Ford! What of Owen, philosopher, lover, speed demon, never deplored. Agnes Schier, chewing gum, red hair. Ford coupe and all. Along with Irene, ebullient, exclusive, and negatively tall. Genevieve, chaste, good looking, debonair, non-explosive; Oletta, standing pat, vampiric, a tongue that’s corrosive. Jake Rydgig, almost a man, a thinker, an artist and basketeer, And of Jewell, well dressed, his opinion expressed, for the ladies, 1 fear. Olive Waggoner, an actress, spontaneous, men she does harass; Ruth Mueller, our typist, and Virginia, a quiet, unobtrusive lass. Elmer Noonan, dazzling in beauty, a hero, and true to his sweetie, Frances North, a Texan, learned, industrious, of a lesson never needy. Edna, a Titian, a Diana, a Cleopatra, and still We have Sara, supreme in knowledge, but lacking her thrill. Walter Stein, sleek, convincing in argument, always correct in attire. Raleigh Phipps, red-haired, possessing a sudden, didactic, ferocious, animosi fied IRE. Seniors, all Seniors, a motley, heterogeneous, diversified crowd Of Heroes, Fair Ladies, Athletes, Stylists. Ye Gods! All Proud! Their ambition is common, I am glad to relate— One feeling grips them, I am trying to state. Knowledge has stirred them, and succeeded their domes to inflate— Now they await the time----when, with honor,---they will graduate. Page Sixteen
