WE ARE THE SENIORS We are the Seniors, ponder it well, For a moral this is, in the tale 1 will tell; We came from the Franklin, confiding and young, What awful surprises upon us were sprung; What snares and what troubles on all sides were hid, Did the Sophomors haze us, believe me, they did. What pitfalls of Algebra, notebooks galore; And each test seemed worse than the one gone before, What terrible questions our young minds would burn; Is Latin or Spanish the easiest to learn? The study of History made some of us sad; I dont think myself. that that subjectis so bad, The grammar grades trials and sorrows may bring ; Till you strike High School English you-donit know a thing. The Freshmen can feature ttThe Call of the Wildh, Just wait till you read nDavid Copperfieldf child, Just wait till Miss Donaldson asks if you,re able To write a report on HLes Miserablestt; I can pronounce that as correctly as you, But it wouldntt rime smoothly, so what could I do? Well, we fought our way upward, each obstacle cleared, Till now were the Seniors, beloved and revered; We don,t wish to brag, but the case stands thus, were the SENIOR CLASS, take a lookat us. Yes, the Senioor year, a long picnic would seem, Were it not for that nightmare, the Senior theme; But the end is approaching, with pleasure and pain, We look backward fondly, half wish to remain; We cannot stay with you, we hear the world call, We are the Seniors, we thank you, thatts all. eLeon Smith
