A SCINTILLATING, STIMULATING. SYNCOPATING SAGA Oh, here's to a year of toil and cheer, 1943, And a Senior class that doth all surpass (as any fool can see), These were the tines when dollars and dines in bonds and stamps were sunk, When many a tongue glad tidings brung, and many a thought was thunk. When goofy blokes told moron jokes, and listened to the same, And frightful slacks, like gunny sacks, adorned the female frame. And just as bad was the horrible fad, when several big galoots Disturbod us all in study hall, with ten-pound cowboy boots. When the khaki suit, and not the zoot, was whak the well-dressed wore. When America's foes stopped raining blows (and it ain't gonna rain no morel) When Mussolini, erstwhile meanie, feared for dear old Rome, And Franklin D. put out to sea—-and Eleanor stayed at homel Some high school lads, and many grads, for army life embarked, And the rest of us kids, as the draft board bids, are also thusly marked. Full steam ahead, the Seniors led, in a smash-up scrap campaign. The scrap flowed in, the war to win, and the Juniors writhed in pain. The Senior pace in the Hare and Hound race gave them plenty causo to be vain, While the Junior crowd, once happy and proud, found their spirits on the wane. The football was fine, the boys hit the line, and ended fourth in the state. The follows did swell, so let's give a yell, for those who really rate. At basketball too, they really came through, and at Lincoln played in the tourney, There Benson they met, and really got set--but anyway, they had the journey. Our bandmon Welch, we tried to squelch, for wearing his big fur coat, It passed for raccoon, but we'd just as soon bot it never was more than goat. When things grow still, as they sometines will, a fad left us all in a quandary, It swept the school (leaving some quite cool) but it all came out in the laundry. The fad was this--did I hear a hisst—boys signed each other's trousers, And wielding pencils, they drew crude stencils of Bunnies looking at Bowsers. This hectic year, not lacking cheer, is ending no at last, The Seniors are leaving, their diplomas receiving, the curtain's falling fast, The Axis' neck is gonna get heck) we're going to show 'em how To fight a war, and furthermore, we're going to end this rowj by John Steen and Loyd Wagnor
