10 The Monesse 1922 Our Friends the Enemy (BY IRENE MULROONEY) 1. Munson I adore Mr. Munson as all Seniors do, “In the name of common sense” you’d better do so too. Just respect him and say, “Yes Sir” As he passes by your way With a honeyed clement caution To “get in to your rooms and stay.” II WlLK Wilk of course is a very bright chap. We all know who engages his lap. Recall his poem of class day night; “Two arms, two arms, around a lady’s waist.” Perhaps he knows how that goes, Mr. Wilk, ain’t that right? III. Hardy Miss Helena Hardy I may mention here, But there might he disturbance from that little dear, June is such a bright, lovable season, And some folks just simply won’t listen to reason. . . A ' IV. Current That delicious ripe fruit you all know I’m sure But I haven’t mentioned Miss Current before. To the “Freshmen” she’s that cross one with specs on her nose, But, perhaps, who knows, she’s somebody’s rose. V. Miller A jovial, roily, polly comes next by all rules. The pet of the boy’s, the pride of the school, “Boys stop playing train,” and chuckles of glee. Is the one pleasant thing about our History III.

The Monesse 1922 11 VI. Kilbukne A wild, roving soldier boy, a true American, Brought up our squad to the very last man. His faults are but few, among them is one “Now settle down to lessons, if you’re getting something done.” He spent sometime in Toulons “over there” in France, But the main things he learned were to promenade and dance. VII. McMannis To “Ginger” we owe the quality of this lovely feed, A friend when in need is a friend indeed. Some sa} she is spunky, and some say she is cross. But to me she is really a “good cooking boss.” VIII. Liberty “How, boys, let’s work and get something done,” Liberty rules, that’s the end of fun. The things made by him are made with some nerve in. Why sajr they’re as nervy, as nervy as Irving. IX. Melby and Hardy Melbv and Hardy might go in together, Alice sets the laws while Helen gets the measures, A tall graceful blonde, a firm decisive figure, A short little brunette who’ll never get no bigger. X. Hungereord 1 saw somethin’ cornin’ a cornin’ up the street. When it drew closer to me it seemed to be a beet, And when it passed right by me Without a single word, I smiled so very faintly for it was Hungerford. XI. Moore That’s not all the teachers for there’s one “More” of them. The plus petite, and cutest that, ever held a pen, She’s a cunning little rascal we like her quaint “Bien oui,” She sure taught us to “Parley Aussi.” These are all the teachers and now my duty’s done. So as “Tiny Tim” observed, God Bless Us Everyone.
