A JUNIOR JINGLE A Junior class history I ought to write, But try as I will, my thoughts have ta’en flight; So instead of that record, a story I’ll tell. And perhaps it will suit every one just as well. About three years ago, and it really seems more, Forty-five Freshmen anchored on this shore. We had a good King, who over us ruled. And a Barber for president, who had us all fooled. The teachers were hostile, but we had a strong Fort, With a Sheppard and Hunter to always report. Monnie we had also and we bought us a Ford. And then all our troubles began to be lowered. There was one in our number, a Brewer by name. Whose highest ambition was to obtain great fame. Edna, with Florrie and Mable one day. Went to hunt Her—man in a Holloway. They found him at once but he wasn’t so lonesome, For with him was Morris and Verna and Johnson. Three years have past and many have left us. But Thelma, with Veda and Smith and May Dorcas Intend to stay with us and conquer this land; That will be soon for '15 at hand. Then goodbye to high school and that horried exam, For the pupil no longer must study and cram. B 10TH HISTORY Our class entered high school at the beginning of the 1 l-’l 2 session. Being small and awkward among so many teachers and pupils, we were somewhat timid at first. How- ever, our timidness was changed when Mr. Dinsmore almost cast Edith out into the cold world because she failed to get a problem in Algebra. Since that time, we have enjoyed working Algebra as though it were something good to eat. You have heard it said that from still waters run deep streams. The application is not hard to be made in our class. Clarence is a quiet boy during recitation; but ask him how a straight line is made, and he will give you some thought he has been working upon for months. We number one dozen, yet we are just big enough not to be “bossed” by the A 10th Class. Surely we feel sorry for them becausq Mr. Dinsmore brags on us, Miss Caylor gives lectures free of charge, and Miss Hunter teaches us how to keep our reputation. It is true, we have faults like any other class. One greatest defect is that we get so very noisy that Mr. Dyess has to command us to stop, as we would ruin the disposition of an angel. May our blunders, disappointments and hard studing help us to make one of thej best classes the Mineral Wells High School has ever produced.
