I wrap Recall the time when we were classed as Fresh1es, so to speak? Then we looked up to seniors tall, and felt a little weakg Or walked into the wrong class room and felt as would a freak. And then we thought with horror of initiation week. XJ 922 For there were times we felt distressed, as if we were at war. Ah yes, we well remember all of this and somthing more, Q9 f 1 Our grades, we found would lift or fall according to our score. But green began to drop before we reached the sophomore door. The parties and the pleasures helped to while away the timeg So we kept marching onward till we passed the freshmen line. The sophomore class you'll recollect ns just a little betterg Our tribe BOB!! to show up more, and break the freshmen fetter. . - And soon the green was all forgot and we began to gather Q The knowledge that would help us on through every kind of weather. The problems that we found that year just lifted up like bubblesg Our English note books seemed to be our first and greatest troubles. A glimpse then toward the junior class which showed to us their stubbles, Did mke our path look smooth so far butojust beyond it doubles. The fun we had that year was 'such that we will e'er remember, So on we marched till we became brave juniors in September. As juniors, we our task did take to make the seniors gay- We worked, washed windows, even cars upon that certain dayg And then we took :Ln some more cash by working up a play. A banquet we were putting on and had to make the pay. The parties and the picnics, too, were all mixed in the plot. Of course there were some lessons due with pen and ink and blot, To keep the minds all working, and teach us all a lot Of things that were important in life that we knew not. And then the year came to an end, a parting time again, With just a few short months between till senior year began. And now that we are seniors tall, we think we have the power To look down on the freshmen small and sort of make them covrer. Our marks and credits we have made, our lives are now in flower, And when we've got our Sheepskin safe,we'l1 leave to build our tower.. And so, my underclassmen dear, we leave you this advising: 'Tis notzall pictures, cards, and rings and sneak day advertising. But when we wear our caps and gowns we'll know we are arising, To higher heights, because we know 'tis that that makes a nation, And so we hail with gladdest cheers, our coming graduation.
