JUNIOR Olip jrigh; School. There is a High School, || in our town,|| And there the scholars, || sit them down,|| And read their books so studiously It surely is a lovely sight to see. Chorus. For its study, study, study, Morning, evening, noon and night. From the time the sun uprises, Till it sets, sets, sets, Then its study, study, study, study, study, till you feel Just crammed with knowledge from your head to your heel, For that’s the only way, don’t you see, You ever can hope great to be. There are five teachers, || in High School,! Who teach us everything, || by rule,|| And tho our souls with lessons hard they grind, They are our friends at last wC find. Cho. All four of the classes II are so bright, || They always have their, || lessons right,! And they all hope to graduate With the very highest honors in the State. Cho. Tune —Mush, Mush, Mush. For the Freshman life’s one round of pleasure, For the Sophomore, too, it’s a lark, But to one that belongs to the Juniors, Life looks pretty earnest and dark; We have lessons to get like the others. But when others with lessons are done, And have gone out for sweet recreation, W e still must keep pegging along. Chorus. For its rush, rush, rush, rush with the Year Book, And it’s rush, rush, rush, rush night and day, Don’t bother me for I am busy,— Today is my busiest day. Let the Freshman go out for a picnic, Let the Sophomores do as they will, But the Junior has far too much doing He’s climbing up Fame’s rugged hill, Our Year Book is sure to bring glory, ’Twill be talked of for long years to come; And we’ll have a fine time as Seniors, With our work on the Year Book all done. Cho. BOOK They even W qt to Olir jrigq School. ' tuNE—Mr. Dooly. O once there was a wicked man, His name was Captain Kidd, He cut off men’s and women’s heads, And all their gold he hid O he did many wicked things Which are against the rule, But you must bear in mind he nev- Er went to our High School. Chorus. O we’re the High School, the Momence High School; Onward, upward is our only rule, We keep things humming! Just hear us coming! We’re a genuine, accredited High School. Once there was an Indian His name was Powhatan, He tried to kill the bold John Smith Who was a noble, man; O, he did many wicked things Which are against the rule, But you must bear in mind he nev- Er went to our High School. Cho. O once there was a wicked queen Her name was Jezebel, Ahasueras caused her death As from a wall she fell. O, she did many wicked things Which are against the rule, But you must bear in mind she nev- Er went to our High School. Cho. Now if these folks had had our chance, No one of us can say, But what they might have tried to live, In quite a different way! Tis true they did many things Which are against the rule, But bear in mind, dear friends, they nev- Er went to our High School. Cho.
