The Junior class have assumed the responsibility mostly for its publication and arrangement but all the classes have shared in furnishing the material. No doubt the readers will find in these pages many mistakes and many opportunities for criticism, but we ask them to remember kindly that we have been able to spend but a comparatively short time in preparing the material; to bear in mind that it is our first attempt and to laugh with us in recalling light hearted fun of our school days. Do not think that because this time we have written much about our jokes and fun there is no serious side to our work. The serious side we have always with us and we have deemed it unnecessary to record it in order to remember it. We have no apologies to offer those who think themselves unjustly criticised here, we only say that no malice has been intended and that all items were inserted in the spirit of pure fun; and if unwittingly some faults have been exposed, that these may be admitted in as kindly a spirit as they were intended. To the faculty and students of the High School we acknowledge our gratitude for their encouragement and assistance which have made this book possible. We earnestly trust it will be a source of pleasure to the readers and a credit to the Port Allegany High School.

The first reel was uninteresting. Discouraged and downhearted I was about to leave when the title of the second flashed on the curtain, catching and holding my attention—“A Dream of the Past,” by Harold A. Van Wegen. The author’s name carried me back to my High School life. So Harold had entered, in a way, the literary world! Certainly no one would have expected that. But as I watched the picture I grew more and more amazed for me indeed, it was a “Dream of the Past.” A young woman, whom I recognized as Louise, was idly dreaming on a sunlit porch. In flashes there came to her pictures of her school days in the old high school. “HER FRESHMAN YEAR.” A scene in the old Junior High, there were three full rows; then, in the Senior High on the east side, three rows more, in both places making things exciting for the rest of the school and especially for the teachers. Now, came a class meeting—great disorder prevailed but finally to the evident relief of every one the troublesome sixty were organized with Carlton Kendall as president and all was peaceful again. The picture faded, but I could supply the details. “HER SOPHOMORE YEAR.” Flashed on the screen. We occupied, now, only the three center rows, our numbers had shrunk to half but as our numbers decreased our spirit and enthusiasm increased. We quickly organized again with Ernest as president and Ruth as secretary, other officers being deemed unnecessary. During our Fresh- man and Sophomore years we gained many athletic honors secured mainly by Harry Newton, Carleton Kendall, Harry Hawkey, Fay Stewart and Ernest Naegely. Mr. Hannawalt was our Botany teacher and about him our fun, likewise our troubles centered. Without undue pressure Ernest resigned, Harry Newton took his place and after the unheard of precedent of a strike, peace was again restored. Then we decided to have a picnic. This was held June 1 in Down’s Grove and enjoyed by everyone present, especially by Dorothy and the bugs. But the picture now called my attention from the Sophomore to “HER JUNIOR YEAR.” Again our numbers were just half the previous year, but we gained two new members, that were left to us from the class of 1912. That year Grace returned from Wisconsin to join our ranks again. This year we had before us the problem of a Junior reception. With an executive force consisting of Anna, Ruth, Beryl and Grace, supplemented by a willing class we proved ourselves equal to it. First, however, we decided our class colors, red and blue, then selected our banner. In quick succession came scenes from Candy Sales, Picture Show Benefits and Basket Social, at all of these we gained material means toward our reception. The question came up of whether we should give a banquet or reception, with an equal division of votes. So with much tact, many arguments and skill, the committee evaded all restrictions and we gave both. At the banquet we presented the Seniors with a ten dollar gold piece for their Washington trip. The evening proved a success and we tired Juniors were repaid for our labor. On the last day of the year we organized with the same officers for “HER SENIOR YEAR.” Only thirteen left with but two boys. Where was Ernest? lie had deserted us but no one yet knows why. We immediately selected our pins, then came the pressing question of money for our Washington trip. A fair was decided on, to be held before Cliristmas, also a play. The fair was accomplished with sixty dollars to our credit but the play had to be given up. After Christmas we were pleased to see Ernest again in our midst. The money making plans went on until by the first of May we had cleared one hundred twenty dollars for our trip. But here the reel broke. I passed out for the end was near, and I had seen enough to remind me that somewhere in the world I had thirteen loyal classmates of the year 1913. —J. R. M. 13.

His special subject is spelling and he is very anxious (?) to issue a challenge to spell down any one in the high school. During last season he was captain of the boys’ basket ball team. IRENE DONOVAN. “How doth the busy little bee, improve each shining hour.” Irene is the baby of our class but is one of the hardest workers we have. When Irene is given something to do we are sure it will be accomplished. In her studies she ranks among the first but some of us wish we were as fortunate as Irene, especially in history class. We hope she will succeed in life and that she may always have her own way. Anna M. Crissy . Ruth Mangold ... .Grace Kibbe Beryl Woodruff I SENIOR CLASS Top Row—Harold Metz, Louise Olmstead, Hare Id VanWegen, Alida Rehnborg, Ernest Naegely Middle Row—Agnes Baker, Eleanor Ward, Anna Crissy, Gertrude Iledberg, Eulalia Crowley Bottom Row—Ruth Mangold, Beryl Woodruff, Irene Donovan, Grace Kibbe ALIDA REHNBORG. “Look not so mournfully into the future.” Alida’s virtues are too numerous to mention. She works faithfully and has always held a prominent place on the honor ioll. She occupies a seat in “the talker’s corner,” and when the teachers are not looking she takes an active part in the con: versation. At times she can also be induced to laugh but her smiles disappear when you mention commencement to her. Next fall may see her busily engaged as a teacher. ERNEST NAEGELY. “Night after night he sat and bleared his eyes with books.” Ernest is a very quiet youth who never attempts a thing unless he “is sure he’s right then goes ahead.” He is the star player of the High School basket ball team and has distinguished himself in football and track events as well. He is an able student, taking his senior course in half year. He is preparing for college in which work all his classmates and friends wish him good luck. ANNA CRISSY. “There is not a moment without some duty.” Anna has been president for both our Junior and Senior years, ample evidence of the esteem in which she is held by her classmates. She is very studious and ambitious, but is also one of our jolly girls, and after her lessons are ended no one can compete with her in raising a commotion. She has a host of friends here who regret that she must be leaving us. Our best wishes for success follow her. GERTRUDE HEDBERG. “By diligence she wins her way.” Gertrude, modest and unassuming, is always in her place and always has her lessons. Languages are her forte for she has conquered two years of German and four of Latin. She looks innocent but when once aroused is found to be full of fun and very lively. She is preparing to teach and probably the future will see our dignified Gertrude gently but firmly guiding the minds of mischievous youth in the right path. HAROLD METZ. “Describe him who can.” “Mexico” is the heartsmasher of the class and a would-be athlete. Great ambitions is not his worst fault, he believes in letting things take their natural course; everything will come out right in the end. We understand that he is very fond of red ties and blue jean suits and his friends all admire (?) him when attired in this uniform. But probably some day we shall see Harold quieted down, a success in some chosen work. LOUISE OLMSTEAD. “A low and gentle voice, woman’s greatest charm.” Louise is a tall and stately member of the class of 1913, and another of the future teachers. But we feel sure that unless she learns to give more volume to her voice, she will have difficulty in making her pupils hear her. To all appearances she is staid and severe but behind a mask of solemnity and dignity, lurks a sly humor. We wish her success in her chosen occupa tion. ELEANOR WARD. “There lies a deal of deviltry beneath this mild exterior.” Eleanor joined our ranks in 1911. Her favorite maxim is, “Much study is a weariness of the flesh,” and she faithfully endeavors to put this into practice. In the silent moments of study periods mysterious sounds seem to come from the direction of her seat but when the teacher glances that way, Eleanor is deeply engaged in study (?). As she is planning to teach she may sopn be able ‘ ‘ to see herself as others have seen her. ’ ’ RUTH MANGOLD. “Oh bed! Oh bed! Delicious bed, That heaven upon earth to the sleepy head.” Ruth is one of the honor girls of our class. For three years she held first place and was forced to sacrifice it because of her health. Ruth is very popular with the other sex and keeps poor King busy carrying notes from John. But best of all Ruth likes to sleep and walks into school about eleven every morning. Ruth is a leader and we presume we shall some day hear of her ruling a little home of her own. AGNES BAKER. “As merry as the day is long.” Agnes is one of the jolly girls of our class, always ready for fun and seldom angry. She has been a loyal and active member, never forcing her opinions upon any one yet willing to do her share when necessary. Her sunny character has won for her the love and esteem of her classmates and we feel sure that her life will always be surrounded with joys. GRACE KIBBE. “Her greatest glory consists not in never failing but in passing in the end.” Grace is one of our out of town pupils. She believes in having a good time while she can. She is fond of going to the gym nasium especially when there are “feeds;” and as to dancing, why she would go on a minute’s invitation. Grace is not becoming gray haired over her subjects but is able to hold her own. Her favorite subjects are mathematics and science and in these she has made a good record. BERYL WOODRUFF. “Never trouble trouble, till trouble troubles you.” Beryl is one of our musically inclined young ladies. During her school career her favorite occupations have been writing poetry and having a good time, especially the latter. She has had many serious cases but we are unable to predict what will be the outcome. Beryl is planning for a summer school course and then teaching. Her friends and classmates all wish her prosperity in this position. EULALIA CROWLEY. “In she came one vast substantial smile.” We know not what Eulalia’s countenance would be without her sunny smile, it seems as if nothing can drive it away. No matter what happens she is always the same. Often in class meetings when the rest are deeply engaged in debate or a quarrel is about to take place she, the peacemaker, averts the trouble by some humorous remark. She has all of her classmates sincerest wishes for the future. Wht Senior Birectorp CLASS Alida Rehnburg Ernest Naegeh’ Irene Donovan Anna Crissey .. Agnes Baker. . . Harold Metz. ..

(Apologies to Edward A. Jenks.) Junior’s $tobress to tfjc Seniors (With apologies to Spartacns.) Ye call them Seniors; and ye do well to call them Seniors who for four long years have met within their classrooms every kind of knotty problem the learned members of our faculty could give them, and who never yet have been outwitted. And yet they were not always thus,—dried-up bookworms, walking dictionaries, the most learned in the High School. Their Freshman year was as peaceful as the graveyard next which they sat, and many times, in pleasant weather, as they gazed out at the granite stones and green grass, they were called back to their problems by the tapping of the desk bell or the footsteps of a teacher. But when they, who passed the examinations, were promoted and called Sophomores, they were moved from the windows to a more central position where the teachers had a better chance to observe their antics, and those antics were peculiar; its surprising to remember just the way they spent the study periods and the way they got their lessons. It’s surprising how they managed to achieve the means that made them be called Juniors. Yet they gained that noble title; gained that and another privilege—they were placed on the other side of the center aisle, in hopes that they could better note the actions of the Seniors and profit by it. Yes, they profited, ’tis evident, for today they’re changed and altered. They have put away childish things and have lost their foolish notions; lost them, but have gained more notions—notions wise, uplifting, noble, worthy to be called ideas. And so now we call them Seniors; not because they’re so much older, but because they’re so much wiser, and their actions so much better. —M. V. ’14. JUNIOR CLASS Upper Row.—William Naeaely, Ora!

Junior $oem The Junior Class with students great, I must some traits of them relate So in a few monotonous lines, I will collect some simp'e rhymes. Russel Edgar with complexion fair One day fell down the High School stair Since he is bashful and blushes soon, He thought he’d stay home in the afternoon. Oral Thompson, teacher’s pet, Never got a scolding yet; Still she’s always in for fun, When she’s sure her work is done. John McMahon, the wonderful sight, Always stays out Lite at night, He comes to school with eves half closed, What’s the reason? Lord only knows. Esther McLaughlin, slim and tall, Is our champion in basket ball; In Geometry comes Esther’s fate, A7hen Prof asks her to demonstrate. Joseph O’Conner big and wise, Always the Juniors does advise, Banquets suppers and even plajs, '‘Anything for a good time,” he says. Pauline Naegely, with natural curls Is one of our most studious girls; She will some day lead a great debate For she argues at an awful rate. Willie Naegely, the bashful lad, Never looks melancholy and sad. In English class he makes a face When Miss Miller changes his place Christiue Spraker with golden curls, Is one of the Junior fresh air girls. “Open the window! It’s stuffy in here.-’ Is Christine’s slogan throughout the year. Gretchen Black, a beautiful maid, With pretty complexion all hand made, Doesn’t agree with Christine, we’re to’d For she always complains because she’s cold. Bessie Huggler with charming voice, Says she doesn’t like the boys, But I am afraid sooner or later Bessie wont be such a young man hater. Josephine Welch, as broad as tall, Never gets into trouble at all; Always modest but never proud, Always quiet and never loud. Ennah Olmstead, our country charm, Never wishes the boys any harm, In Geometry she’s very bright When of somecne’s work she catches sight. Muriel Ventres with sandy hair, Is very haughty and puts on airs, Of course we will have to excuse her for this For she is a suffragette and a florist. Vera Eddy, one of our belles, Her wit is brilliant and her eye compels, Her ways are winning and her smile is sweet But in Algebra she is hard to beat. Mona Meeker when she hears of Exams, Stays up late and her head, full crams; She is always worrying from morning till night, Whether her school work will come out all right. Harold Weipper, so fair and straight, We hope will some day graduate. Although he’s very lazy and slow, In two or three years he may get through. Howard (’atlin, our lawyer bold, Is much afraid or the dark we’re told. He doesn’t like to take Alveda home. Because he has to go back alone Allyne Tefft, whom we all know, Is every night at the picture show. There she’s sure to meet Kent dear, And for the rest, we need not fear. Freed a Johnson, the great mathematician, In History loses all her ambition. When Miss Kershner says, “Freeda recite or get out,” She'll laugh and meander without any doubt. Margaret Mulcahy, so dignified, Who alwavs seems to be satisfied Is a very clever little lass, But often has trouble in Physics dass. Bertha Spencer, so fair and sweet, Advises the Juniors not to cheat. She is veiy noble and sublime, Another like her is hard to find. Now I have come to the end cf my fun It seems as though I have just begun; If you, the poet to know, desire, Go to the editors, please, and inquire. Iftglj g rboal Urntantlar I wonder where the Prof, is at. Want a ticket to the game ? Let’s get a drink . Got an extra pencil ? May we go in the office ?

We then numbered thirty-two but now there are enly twenty four of us. Perhaps we were green at first, (the Juniors tell us wo were,) but that is a common fault of the Freshmen. Soon we lost that hue completely and became the present good natured happy-go-lucky Sophomores We have always been a well behaved class but we believe in the old adage that The Sophomores have already won great renown in the school and athletic field. May they continue to do so. “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men.” (ttlaaa Sail Alma Anderson Alveda Hawkey Ardella Cooper Charles McRae Della Romanio Evelyn Fulmer Esther Syler Edward Catlin Ernest Mangold Edna Finn Floyd Ostrander Fred Baker Hazel Weimau Herbert Rehnborg Helen Newton James Newton Kingsley Williams Mary Beckwith Odra Freeman Ralph Zahniser Raymond Cauley Russel Straug Rose Maher Winifred Wiepper Jfresftman ( fftcersi President..................................

Being an unusually good crowd, we won the respect of the other classes who gave us a very original and very entertaining reception. In athletics, we have made a good record; tho not always successful, we have won our share of the basket ball games. In base ball we claim the championship.

This was the first affair of its kind given by the school so we all swelled with the importance of our existence and the honor to be thrust upon us. Friday morning we were somewhat disturbed by a vague rumor which hinted that instead of their making a good time for us, we were to furnish a good time for them. That night, however, found all the brave Freshmen assembled at the Gym, ready for the fun. We were directed to second floor where the presidents of the other classes gave us our instructions. First they formed us into a line like jail birds on their way to dinner, then we were led downstairs into the arena of the Gym floor. They lined us up facing the other classes who were watching us thru the screen as tho we were a circus parade or a crowd of hoboes. From their midst came a girl with a roll of paper under her arm. To me she looked like a high spirited suffragette, and I expected to see a “Vote -for-Women” on her back. After she had duly looked us over and impressed us with her superiority as a Junior, she slowly unrolled the paper and proceeded to read to us. “Ye, the Freshman class of Port Allegany High School, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twelve, harken to the just and unalterable commands of your upper classmates, the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. “We, your upper classmates and superiors, command you, during school hours not to chew gum, whisper, hum tunes, sing songs, write notes, flirt, throw paper wads, or to do any of those things which are deemed criminal by the unwritten laws established against such said actions by the unimpeachable dignity and wisdom of our beloved rulers, the High School teachers. Not out of malice or jealously but out of sympathy to you and compassion for your weakness and inexperience do we, your upper classmates, not only command you but advice you to pay due heed to all these laws. Fail in one of them and on your head be the consequences.” The Junior paused to look solemnly at us and to give her weighty words a chance to sink deeply into our impressed Freshmen minds. We realized our insignificance; wTe saw ourselves a meek and humble class slinking in and out of the study hall to classes. Further visions were quickly interrupted by the reader’s deep and sepulchral voice announcing that the oath of obedience would now be read and to its provisions we must all answer “I do” or lose forever all hope of remaining in the High School. Painfully and anxiously each listened: “Do you, members of the Freshmen class of the Port Allegany High School, hereby promise in the presence of your teachers and the upper classmates, the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, to honor and obey each and every command of said teachers and classmates to the end of your High School career?” Reluctantly and mournfully each answered, “I do.” “Do you also faithfully promise not to deface, destroy or demolish any books or school property; to study deligently and recite respectfully?” Again came the mournful chorus, “I do.” “We now declare you subjects of the realm of the Port Allegany High School, participants of all its rights and privileges and answerable for your conduct to your superiors.” The ordeal was over. Proudly we faced each other. We were Freshmen! Members of the High School! The ambition of years was realized. The evening was spent in playing games or doing “stunts” for the amusement of the others, all of which we performed cheerfully, remembering ours would be the same privilege next year. All too soon the party broke up and the Freshmen went home, tired, but happy and satisfied with their reception.

The birds on the piano were restless; The crow started to sing a song, But the hawk flapped its wings disgustedly And the song was not prolonged. The white owl told a long story Of how he came from the North But his sad tale was interrupted By the weeping his words had brot forth. The birds all wept bitterly And all seemed gloomy and sad Except the little flying squirrel Who always keeps happy and glad. The black squirrel soon stopped weeping By telling what he’d heard that day: Mr. Fetterolf giving a lecture Because the Civics class wanted to play. The duck made a contribution To the amusement of the birds, By telling jokes that had happened In school, a few simple words. And so the birds grew hilarious And it seemed almost like school So great was the mirth which prevailed For “Have a good time” is our rule. BOY S BASKET BALL TEAM H. C. Fetterolf, Coach, Metz, VanWegen, Naegely, M hafT«y McCarney O’Connor The boys team of 1912-1913 has a much better record than the team of 1911-1912. There have been many changes in the team but the members at the close of the season were those named above. The first game this season was played at Coudersport December 6. but the Coudersport boys were too big and heavy for our boys and the game was lost by twenty two points. The second game was played, with Emporium but again our boys met with a much stronger team and were defeated. The third game .played at Sliinglehouse, was lost but showed a better score than the preceding. With the next game, the record was changed, our boys beating the Emporium Incandescent Company’s team by a score of 38 to 24. They closed the season with another victory over the Incandescent Company’s Team. The schedule and scores are given here. Coudersport 33 Port 11 Emporium 52 Port 18 Sliinglehouse 36 Port 18 Incandescent 24 Port 38 Ineandecent 22 Port 28 tCfjf Senior Cataract of Hotiore “IIow does Harold Metz sit down in his seat!” Rutli asked me one day to tell her complete, Moreover, she asked me to tell her in rhyme. Anon, they all come. The Seniors on time. And then came a Senior to second and third. The request of their classmates, the tale to be heard He always sat down with a rush from the door As many a time, they had heard him before, So I told them in rhyme for of rhymes I had store. Unless he’s asleep, he runs and he creeps, Just as he’s about to sit down in his seat. Off again he goes, and away he proceeds, Thru’ an aisle, o’er desk, and a chair and a table, Never caring at all, whether he’s able. Helter skelter, flurry skurry, Always in a terrible hurry, Confounding, astounding, Dizzying and deafening, The ear with his sound. Swelling and flinging, Darting and springing, Leaping and frisking, Turning and twisting Around and around Until at last, he is finally set down. Then rattling and battling And shaking and quaking Soaring and roaring, Waving and raving, Foaming and roaming, Working and jerking, Shirking and swirking, Tossing and crossing, Heaving and cleaving, Dropping and hopping, He is down, but he’s lopping. So when falling and crawling and sprawling, And driving and riving and striving And bubbling and troubling and doubling Dividing and gliding and sliding, Grumbling, rumbling and tumbling, Sits down, but he’s mumbling. So after rushing, flushing, brushing and gushing, Flapping, rapping, clapping and slapping, Advancing, prancing, glancing and dancing, Eecoiling, turmoiling, toiling and boiling, Thumping, flumping, bumping and jumping, And so never ending, but always descending, Sounds and notions forever blending, All at once, and all o’er With a mighty uproar Harold sits still, but is heard of no more. —E. W. ’13 Entire to ingb ®d onl fiupUa The teachers are tired of the following excuses and wish that some different ones could be advanced: I didn’t get that far. I didn’t know where the lesson was. The lesson is torn out of my book. I didn’t understand the question. I know but I can’t express it. I left my book at home and couldn’t study. The clock was wrong. GIRL S BASKET BALL TEAM Metz, B. Rushka Lawler, L. Rushka Newton Freeman, Black The girls team of 1912-1913 hag a geod record altho it fell below the record of the team for 1911-1912. The latter in a series of five games lost but one, that played at Olean. Through graduation, the school lost one of its most experienced players, a loss which weakened the team somewhat. Nevertheless this season has proved satisfactory and the team did good work. The first game was played at John-sonbuig, December 6. Tho the girls went with the expectation of being defeated because of lack of practice, they won. More than that, they inflicted upon the Johnsonburg girls the first defeat they had suffered upon their own floor. The second game was played with Emporium on Port’s floor and again our girls were victorious. The game however, was very close,Port being behind until a very few minutes before the game endtd. The third game was played on our floor with Johnsonburg who won by two points made in the last minute of playing. This was the first time our girls had lost on their own floor. The fourth and last game was played at Emporium and again our girls were defeated. This was not unexpected as the team went there badly crippled on account of illness among the players. The schedule and scores were as follows: Johnsonburg 6 Port 9 Emporium8 Port n Johnsonburg n Port 9 Emporium 8 Port 2 jHenagerie Not long ago while out for a walk a thunder storm overtook me and I sought shelter under the tent of a tiny one-ring circus and traveling menagerie. I took a seat on an overturned water bucket, leaning back against an empty cage and lulled by the drowsy patter of rain on the canvass, I was just dropping off to sleep when someone touched my arm. It was the proprietor, a short man with black hair and twinkling eyes. He asked me if I would not like to see the animals. I forthwith followed my guide and we soon reached the first of the cages but owing to the darkness of the tent, I was at first unable to see what it contained. Soon, however, my eyes became accustomed to the gloom and I read on the placard above it— “The Wonderful Dwarf James Newton Postively the only animal of its kind in captivity.” “This animal,” droned the voice of my guide, “is distantly related to the common monkey. It is wonderfully small and active and makes an unbelieveable amount of noise. It is tricky and mischievous, so do not go near it as it is fond of pulling hair.” “This second cage also contains a rare specimen. Its name is Ernest Mangold. It lives principally upon peanuts and candy but enjoys chewing gum also. It is large and inactive and rather hard to teach tricks. It is nocturnal in its habits coming out of its hiding place only with (K) night. The third cage contains an animal popularly known as Ennah Olmstead. It is noted chiefly for its voracious appetite and ever ready tongue. “This next cage contains a harmless, good natured animal called Fred Baker. It is distantly related to the “singing baboon,” as it is very fond of displaying its fine voice and is generally engaged in whistling or singing. It is an extremely affectionate animal and sometimes becomes violently attached to the pretty girls who visit the zoo. “In the next cage is a specimen called Russel Strang, an animal very fond of hearing its own voice. It is always talking and has never been known to keep still long enough to hear anyone else. “This cage contains a specimen called Esther McLaughlin whose chief peculiarity is a pair of very long legs which are very much in use. It also is very fond of talking and is a leader among the animals as they follow it everywhere even into mischief. “The animal in this last cage is called Ralph Zahniser and it is the pet of all its keepers because it is so kind and gentle. It is quiet and retiring and never becomes angry unless greatly provoked. It is athletic in its amusements and may often be seen trotting around its cage or climbing up the sides.” “This is all our menagerie for the present but next year we hope to be able to add many new and curious animals.” As he said this my guide disappeared and I found myself once more sitting on the overturned water bucket. The storm had gone muttering on its way, so I picked myself up stretched my cramped limbs and fared forth still thinking of the queer menagerie I had seen. —E. F. ’15. The sheep are in the meadow, The cows are in the grass, And all the little silly geese Are in the Freshmen class. )c Jteto porcelain fountain How dear to my heart are the scenes of my Junior days, When fond recollections present them to view. The classrooms, the office, the big, crowded hallways, And every loved spot which my Juniorhood knew, I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure, The pictures and pennants that hung on the wall, The battered old dictionary that heard many a secret, And e’en the white fountain that stood in the hall. REFRAIN: The new High School fountain, the low running fountain, The porcelain fountain that stood in the hall. That porcelain fountain I hailed as a treasure For often at noon or when returning from class The wide spreading Nike and the desk that stood neath it, But oftimes I couldn’t drink because of the mass. How gracefully I bended to drink from that fountain And ’long would come another to drink from it, too, Who’d push me and I’d turn about and Find my place taken before I’d got thru. What a sweet privilege it is to stand round it And talk to everybody before going to class And get a drink if the water abounded Tho’ usually it didn’t; it was drunk up so fast. And when summer comes and we have vacation Thru the hot dry months we’ll all wish for fall That we might enter school, our beloved habitation And drink from the fountain that stands in the hall. —M.
