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.

“Mischief, thou art afoot, take thou William Naegely: what course thou wilt.” Ennah Olmstead: “Gee, I wish I weren’t fat!” Joseph O’Connor: “Ye gods, how he will argue.” Bertha Spencer: “Not stepping o’er the bounds of modesty.” Christine Spraker: “I am nothing if not critical.” Allyne Tefft: “Modest as a dove.” Oral Thompson: “Look how her color comes and goes.” Muriel Ventres: “As prone to mischief as able to perform it.” Harold Weipper: “As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean.” Josephine Welsh: “Fair without, faithful within.” JOKES. When the leaves begin to turn—before exams. John (to Olean street car conductor)—“Is this Noah’s Ark full?” Conductor—“Yes, all but the monkey. Jump in.” Miss Kershner—“Willie, what is the name of the mountain near which this battle was fought.” Willie (half rising)—“Gee, I don’t know.” Russel E. (as ever to the rescue)—“Bill, bluff it.” Willie—“Bluffit.” A Junior once to Heaven went And picked out his room and bed: But they sent him back to earth again, No crown large enough for his head.

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.
