TUNE: Ching-Chong. Seniors, we are the Seniors, We a1'e the Kings of Parsons High, Seniors, we are the Leaders Nothing worth while has ere gone by, Now that we have to leave you We give you Juniors full control, So when, we journey onward x You Kids can play our present role. - Tubby Slane. The Bare The year it was nineteen and fourteen The month of September was here It was warm and the dead leaves were falling As we entered our Freshman year. We were told we had great things to conquer That hard trials were waiting us there. We ne'er stopped though quite often we faltered With good spirits we passed the turn fair. Then on, through all troubles and struggles Look forward! Our motto became. Those were days when the future was beckn'ing And was calling the Sophs on to fame. The rough path before us was threat'ning, Clouds and shadows our pathway beset, But thanks to the help of kind teachers We conquered each obstacle met. Our task had been happy and joyous And two laps of our race had been run. Now we turned our eyes more to the future With class spirit to urge us e'er on. We chose white and red as our colors Meaning courage and fair play and power. We Can, Will, and Do read our motto, The red rose now became our class flower. And now, as the last lap is finished, A great challenge is flung to us all, Other courses are tempting us further And we know we must answer their call, Come on! and We will! is our answer, With vict'ry our goal we can't stop. And we're glad that we have the assurance, There is plenty of room at the top. - Mabel Platt, '18. 27 7

Oh, they are the Juniors as they were in 1915. I Won- der if they remember the party they nearly had. The time had been set and the place named, Neosho River. A day or two before the eventful day, their sponsors decided it wouldn't be safe to take so large a class to the river and a picnic was substituted. Suffice it to say, nothing came of it. Why are they gesticulating and what are they saying? Lean closer. Can't you hear them now? They are preparing for their respect- ive Literary Societies, quite prevalent then, but now dead. Here comes the Sophomores, Harry Gregg at their head. They are wearing their new class pin, chosen this year. As a class, nothing much was accomplished during this year. The Juniors are now approaching. Who is that dignified individual preceding them? Can it be--it must be-their President, Everett Ross, who is proud of the class of '19. He has reasons to be proud, for no class ever before had so many geniuses as this class possesses. Meet the class orators, Edna Felton and Holland Pile. He1'e are our pianists, Juanita Cardin and Lucille Collins, our soloist, Eva Lockwood, and our orchestra members, Thelma Dearth, Eugene Parsons, and Louis Wallen. Perhaps you are a basket ball fan? There are Leonard Rude and Frank Neely, who helped us win the championship of Southeastern Kansas. If you enjoy elocution, Georgia Haynes and Harriet Gregory will entertain you. We have other talented members in the class. High school may well be proud of her Junior Class and will miss them when they graduate next year. Sophomores and Freshmen take heed for: Lives of Juniors should remind you You can have your lessons learned, And, departing, leave behind you Mem'ries which have been well earned. -Bernice Piatt, '19. 29
