8 JUNIOR YEAR BOOK. ’04. A class ther was and that a worthi one That from the tym that it fyrst begunn To broaden out it loved chivalre, Trouth and honour, freedom and curtese. Full worthi was it in its teacher’s hyre And from the fyrst ne’er did it tyre. In delving careless after high sentence For thilka looking in gret reverence. If after tym somdel int’rest felle Restor ' only by the chapel belle As Freshies was but hardly playn delyt And verreily as Sophs we were perfyt. A larg class it was with talents bright When in High School we hast’ly did alight. Bold of our speech and wys and welitaght And of manhede we lakk right naught. With us there was our John, our president, Full oft he was upon his Latyn bent. Of his stature he was of wondrous length And wondrously delyvere and gret of strength. Singyng he was or floyting all the day, He was as fresh as is the month of May, With lock curlle as they wer layd in presse, A ’phone pole was he sothly as I guesse. And too ther was our Mullet precious wede Who knew our conseil and was all our reed An Edward was ther with us in that place, That had a fyre-reed cherubyn face. But twenty gifted members by the weye, Would croud out Hist’ry sothly for to seye. Sufficeth it that all have brilliant mynds, And gret achievements will produce, you’ll fynd. Past records prove that we have far excelled All efforts that as models have been held. This class was, too, full rich of excellence. Discrete it was and of gret reverence. Renowned it was, its word were so wise And such it was iprov ' oft sithes. Let future speak for that which I have writ— (In all this world ne was ther non it lyk.) The chronicles of ’04 are ended quite. Of which ful blithe and glad is every wight.
