M—is for Miller, our funmaker they say, Just couldn’t be good one single day. N is for Normal, so fine, you know, or all the young teachers of Maroa to go. O—is for Otto, the farmer boy from the west, Worked hard and of all the boys was the best. P—is for Prather, whose heart is for Ruth; We are sure of all this and have good proof. (J—is for Quizzes we all have to take, Always no matter what grades we make. R—is for Ruth; although she’s quite small, She has a large heart and that’s nothing at all. S—is for Stoutenborough, the one so fair, Has big brown eyes and such eurly hair. U—is for University, where we’ll all go next year, For Miss Reller says it’s a place of good cheer. —is for Verna and Verl, who they say Are to be prim school ma’ams we hope some day. W—is for Wikoff, who we all know Comes from the country and in studies is slow.

After this comes Ella Grady so gentle and sweet, But for Roscoe I think they say she stung Pete. And Verl Stallings, who once giggled in school— Was told it was very unladylike and against the rule; And last but not least, Fleeta Wikoff so still, Was taken home one night much against her will. Next is the faculty, so stately and grand; Say we are the best Seniors in all the land. Some say they don’t mean it, but we know it is true, For haven’t we done everything that our teachers told us to do? Miss Bowman is the head of the school, And to the office you go if you break a rule; But that’s only a small matter—so goes the song— For the rubber hose is just a foot and a half long. Miss Reller, with eyes so snappy and small, Is not very large and not very tall, But she can see you just the same, And it makes no difference what is your game. Last, Mr. Mitchell, the lone bachelor of Maroa High, Has a wide smile, but has been known to sigh. ‘ This is a funny old world,’’ he will often say. We don’t know why he says it, unless he gets mighty poor pay. Nes 2
