INTRODUCTION Four years ago, as it is told, To this school, came forty Freshmen bold; Greener than spinach, though braver than that: But promptly upon us, the Sophomores sat, And taking each Freshie by the hand. To the tuneful notes of a Chinese band, Escorted us up to nurseryland. CLASS OFFICERS. PRESIDENT—RAYMOND GARDNER SECRETARY-TREASURER—ADA A. VAIL SPASM I. It took us about a week to settle. And then we got up our crust and mettle; We made up our minds to take nobody’s sass. And soon earned the name oi the spunk class. Well, ail this while, the time was flying, It really sounds as if I were lying— But we were Sophs., the world defying. SPASM II. Now ramp the time of liking, then loving. And with it. that Hilly love.v-doving, And all of the girls were hashful and roy, But time kept slipping and sliding too. And what do you think? Before we knew— We were the Juniors true. SPASM III. Our credits we saw were sadly larking And. we. our poor brains were shamefully racking. For how to obtain enough credits this year Was the uppermost thought in each mind. I fear. We worked from sunrise to sunset at night. And then at last to us came light. And lo: we were all-in-all Seniors bright SPASM IV. As Seniors. I rum work we knew no rest, It was work with a will, and a work with a zest. It was work all morning and work all night To do things quickly and do them right. And after all this agitation. We’re getting ready for graduation Ami then we’ll be out of it all. PHOEBE WESTWOOL 14.
