6 The Scarlet and Gray The Junior Class ’ 14 Here’s unto the loyal Juniors! Better can’t be found than they, In the ranks of those who study ’neath the Scarlet and the Gray! We have passed through many classes; many grades of school we’ve seen, Now we’re proud to pledge allegiance to the Junior Class ’14. All our periods are pleasant, whether days be bright or drear; And our teachers treat us fairly,—save on our exams, we fear; But we overlook that failing,—we are generous and kind, That is why we in our studies leave the Seniors far behind. Tho’ we have some, in our classes, on whom falls the teacher's frown, Who are often slow to answer, and are therefore graded down; Yet we know that oft in court-rooms man the rule of justice breaks, —That the teachers are but mortals, and that mortals make mistakes. There is never lack of interest for the members of our Class, —There is always something doing, our long study hours to pass. Now there’s jolly C. R. Brickies, never seems a joke to lack; He’s the one that loves to argue with our smart professor Mac. Grace MeKee is ever looking for a faithful little man, Guess she’s found one—General Morgan but it’s “catch him if you can”! ‘Spider’ S. and Austin Kontner are our expert chemic profs, But they’re so all-fired conceited yon would almost think them Sophs. Then there’s Hildred—she who gazes sadly back at Harry P.: But , tis sad to say, he sees not—there’s another, Amy C.! Cheer up. Hildred! do not worry; hope will surely soon be found, For “faint heart ne’er won fair lady”, and it might be turned around! There are others:—we have Bummy.who with Hazel likes to talk In the German study period, tho’ .Miss Johnson tries to knock; Anna Monks, who knows a fellow in Columbus, don’t-you-know, Florence Park’s who is so noisy that she’s heard a mile or so. Tubby D. and C. Crabtree—but we know the story well, Nothing new or novel added, therefore what’s the use to tell? I think I’ve now recited quite enough to prove to you That we have the biggest intellect that e’er came in Room Two. Then do not forget the Juniors, when you think of N. H. S., Who are loyal to their colors and will do as they profess; Tho’ the Sophs may be conceited, and the Freshmen may be green. We are proud to pledge allegiance to . the Junior Class ’14. J. S. S. ’14, The Last Frolic Berwick College, so called from the Bay of Berwick two miles distant, lift- ed its lordly colums amid great live oaks and magnolias, in the beautiful Teche region in the south central portion of old Louisiona. Nelson Hall, the girl’s seminary,was about a quarter of a mile across the campus. It was a warm, pleasant week, early in June, with those delightful moonlight evenings so characteristic of the South. The students were imbued with that activeness and mirth which Spring and
