1 lie Senior Class The time has come at last To bid farewell to the Junior Class. To you we leave this bit of advice, Beware,” of social functions on school nights. Now if the Seniors won’t mind. I’ll tell Some secrets before our last farewell. They were a class, of whom to lx? proud; So, therefore no one shall I shroud. First comes our President, the noted Earl, W ho never was afraid of boy or girl. Although in classes he liked time to reflect, I le never has lost the class respect. There’s Janet and Donald, who, all kinds of weather. Could be seen most anywhere talking together; That is, in school hours, not at night. For then Floyd and Margaret, are always in sight. Of Elizabeth. Mary and Marie, I can’t tell you much I agree. For although these lasses were happy and gay, In our class meetings they never had a word to say. Evelyn refused to ride on a night When the full moon wasn’t in sight ; But, oh, what a surprise, when Alice refused. Of her graduation dress to give any news. Of that sleigh-ride, some time ago. When the thermometer registered sixteen below. Ask Rockwell and Emily once more. If they remember the visions of yore. Now, Mary Long is the jolliest in the class. She certainly is a wonderful lass; Also Lina, who never provokes Anyone with her witty jokes. Then there is Edward, all for baseball But who also enjoys any dance hall. Elizabeth, those tears are all in vain. Be happy, make up with Ada again. Alice and Margaret, who whenever you look. Have their heads deeply buried in a Virgil book; But these have our Valedictory and Salutatory, So that accounts for their unusual story. I lazel. Mary and Grace, In Physics, any question will face; But in shorthand. Emmett always excels. Providing he doesn’t have a sulky spell. Of Katherine, it must be said; That she is our only curly head. Marguerite, who just hates to leave, Cheers herself up by thinking of Steve. Elma and Olin are a devoted pair; For no one else do they seem to care. Now Francis, no one knows but me, That those notes go to Alice KC. Cleda says that she lives so far, That’s why she takes the twelve o’clock car ; And Elsie didn’t mean it for a bluff. When she said water would freeze if it was cold enough And now this Howard is wonderfully clever. In literature fails to answer, never. Last, but not least, comes Clinton my friends. And with this my little story ends. In after years, when we have gone astray. To take up our paths in a different way. Turn backward, then, oh time in your flight. And make us Seniors again just for one night. ANNA R. FERGUSON 12. Senior Want Ads Clinton Beach—To be a soldier boy. Marguerite Bracht— A sweet disposition. Janet Browne—To go to Washington.
