Our Class History Under a beaming September sun ' Our bashful member is Willie Boone, Bent en learning, not on fun. He ' s never absent at the call oi noon; Fourteen students sought their fate. lie comes from Coldwater in his car. In the year of nineteen hundred twenty-eight. And smilingly adds, ' Why, it ' s not far. Vo the school of Aggie fame With eager minds these students came. With willing hands and oft a tear. Wending their way from far and near. Lynville Wright, our President fine. Came up from Jackson with his line; From Bucksnort came our lovely Queen, None other than Bonnie reigned supreme. From our town came Dot and Polly, Wreathed in smiles to keep us jolly. And laughing Edith came up from Strayhorn, Leaving that hamlet bare and forlorn. Of beautiful blondes, our class had many Terry, and. Conie, and Mellie, and Winnie, All helpful with their eyes ' blue To prove what gentlemen think is true. Paul Phillips, very dapper and gay, Was our Beau Brummel without a nay. Merle Chambers added her bit. Who hailed from Palestine with her wit. In mid-season three stragglers came Anxious to have their chance at fame. And speedily gained the honored places Deservedly won by their winsome graces. Up from Sardis came one o ' these girls With sparkling black eyes and lots o ' curls, And ere a week from that single trip Rose packed our hearts within her grip. Big Dorothy and Alma and Nell, All former students and used to the bell. Knew the business and how to stick Showed us cleverlv how to turn the trick. Continuing from twenty-eight to twenty-nine, Olivia, in her work, ne ' er fell behind; So she is best in our belief To be our annual ' s Editor-in-chiel. One year hence in twenty-nine, Ten loyal students came in line. Back to the Aggie to finish their work Determined their tasks never to shirk. New ones added to our ten were three, And we were happy as thirteen could be. We were glad to have them join our gang Cause we make things go ' round with a bang. Alma and Conie and Bonnie and Edith, After twenty-eight, decided to beat it; Terry and Abe and Paul ne ' er returned. But in our hearts their memory burns. Now, Thelma Crockett, you ' re next to meet. Is our president and a real athlete; And Ilene, her sister, is a very fine girl. And never even cries if her hair doesn ' t curl. Mere ' s the most smiling sophomore yet. And. among our students he is the pet: lie ' s Cecil Burford, with a heart of gold. And what ' s more, he ' s a Lochinvar bold. A bit of advice just one more time. Ere 1 close this boresome rhyme: II any good you think you can do. Sign on the line. I ' ll put it through. Pauline Stevens, ' 29. Page Twenty
