I F If Honny couldn ' t draw for us, If Harry couldn ' t drum, If Susie couldn ' t take the roll, if Johnny lost his gum, If Meg could not transport us, or if Ruffner couldn ' t play, If Pardee wouldn ' t edit, and if Riddle went away, If Hattie went — no Mirror, and if Winnie weren ' t — no Dance, If Cunningham — no Vaudeville, if Pick — no High Finance, If Joy and Cush departed, and left us dull and sore, If Bill got temperamental and wouldn ' t play no more, If Churchill couldn ' t Mona-Lise , if Bersbach turned us down, If Lackner didn ' t business, and if Fray went out of town, If Bud lost his accordian, or Jane her Chevrolet, If Doris took her crayons and hid them far away, If all of this should happen, I ' m sure you will agree A very funny Senior Class this Senior Class would be. SENIOR SORROWS You ' re Seniors now , says Mrs. Childs, And really must be still. You mustn ' t think you ' re privileged Your precious time to kill. You ' re Seniors now , Dave Corkran croaks, It ' s really almost time For you to learn to punctuate. And distinguish prose from rhyme. You ' re Seniors now , Miss Greeley wails, And soon your class we ' ll lose. Where will we get a team next year To fill your vacant shoes? You ' re Seniors now , roars Mr. Jones, And you must not be late. If you do this at College, Why, you ' re sure to get the gate! We ' re Seniors now , we shout with glee, We ' re as high as we can get! (But at this time next year we ' ll be the greenest Freshmen yet).
