THE PEP 21 TO MOTHER The years have gone, but in my heart Is a love that will never die For the woman who struggled to give me a start Toward the goal she treasured so high. Nobody knows the sorrows and woe, That come when I think of her, , It seems that the best of people go And she was one, my mother. Oh mother I'll try to do my best, For I know you're watching from heaven, And I'll try to meet and pass every test And make good on this earth before leaving. It is hard to part with friends so true And it's harder to lose a sister or brother, But the worst that can happen to me or to you Is to lose such a friend as Mother. JOHN MacDOUGALL, '35. TO M. H. Sf' The school we all- adore- - The school of high ideals. Here in the state of Maine, Here in the town of Mexico Where we for manhood train. When we graduate forth, half.sad, half proud- With fond memories lingering bright, ' We shall meet the harsh, imperial crowd, We shall struggle in the fight. ' ' The weaker shall wear the shroud. When tempted-let us recall the honor of the sages, Let us recall the teachings of MHS And justice will reign throughout the ages. Let us recall the high ideals of childhood That we may always cast honor on the school of our youth. DAN CUPID AT M. H. S. J Fond teacher, tax me not too hard today- For I met such a lovely Miss That she stole my heart and thoughts for a day I just can't wait to receive that kiss. If, dear teacher, we had double seats, Why we could hold hands and say- With our hearts skipping beats Little words about the day. If, teacher dear, arm in arm to classes we could walk You cannot realize how sweet life would be. School would be a shady nook by a murmur- ing brook Life, just as in fairy tales would be. The teachers make us wait till school is done, But they just cannot understand, Soon they will know her love I have won, School day Sweethearts are never understood. fWith due respect to B. C.-B. D., D. V.- A. F., M. R.-W. G., M. S.-A. F., F. B.-J. M., R. P.-E. C., M. F.-W. F., V. T.- E. D.: J. D..L. sp ' ROY, 'ss . ROY, '35, ' IN JIMMIE'S NAME Qby tune of The Old Spinning Wheel chorusj borne on gang, let us hgnt for dear old Jimmie, For the glory, for the honor, for the fame, U, how I wish that the Lord would just give me Jimmie's glad ways of playing the game. Kun up scores, win all games in the future, For that is just what he wouiu want us to do, Though he isn't here to watch us we are sure Yet his spirit will sure wbe watchinng you. When on field or on court you are playing And the game is going very last and hard Just stop and think of what Jimmie is saying Come on 'boys' and win this game for your old pardf' Though your hearts may all be broken by his going Yet go out there and bring in all the fame, And when the final whistle of the game is blowing -You can say we've won again in Jimmie's name. JOHN MMDOUGALL, 34.
