SCHOOL SAGA Will you come into our school? Said the cadet to the guest, It is the nicest school With which a town was ever blessed. It was built by a Porter In the Parish of Momence, 'With e Tiffin and a Chipman And a Jensen watching expense. This is His office which we dread Whenever we are tardy, Because you see, the office force Is both Stout and Hard . Across we have theTFoEceep:lng room Where it's Ada Immel, 'nuff said, Here financial Hzards bloom, And learn to stay out of the red. Down here is the Typing room Where racing is such hm, With time you must be ahead And never be be-Heinsen. Here is the Nortfqfp'-ir room, Social Science we study, And if work to you spells gloom Don't enter into here, buddy. This is the library-study hall, Where we study, one and all. Here is Lil edahl's Physics room Where music I xed with rare perhnne And here French verbs do make us sad, Dramatics keep us blithe, And if the reason you would know Then just ask our Miss Snythe. Downstairs Hungerford rafmupreme While boys weigh out the corn, And learn to test the milk and cream, Future farmers--city born. Next the manual training room You can see for loolclng Why the 'boys all cry, 'Give us Liberty or cooking. Now here is our gymnasium Where we always play, Miss T. says, 'Take U-Dell' the boys, I'l1 take my G. A. L' Now here the girls take Home Ee. And learn to cook and sup, You' ll never find a speck 'Cause all is Liohty'd up. Milton, ChauceFEd Shakespeare Are with Miss Coontz all the year, And here is where we meet our doom For this is the English room. And in the last room down the line Math will never get us down, Because the study of every sign Is put before us, done up Brown. And did you notice, passinflffough what a clean school we've got? The students will explain to you We've Earl and Johnny on the spot. 8
