1 X THE CLASS OF TWENTY SEVEN By Myron Leenhouts ln Ontario High School there is a fine classg lt is one you will find very hard to surpass. lt's the Seniors up there and you sure must confess it When we really want a thing, in the end we possess it.

The class is composed of ten brilliant young students, And with them you must get acquaintedg So now I shall try with the utmost of prudence, To describe them as a picture just painted. At the head of' the list is Rex Ransley our president, There are none quite so studious as he When he takes the chair though he's very expedient. We step to his music b'lieve me.
