HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL J tut 10 r a PROLOGUE. |With apologies to Edgar Allen Poe.| See the Juniors-with their books, little books. What a world of wisdom shines in their looks Ho v they sparkle, sparkle, sparkle, in the recitation room. While the Freshmen stop to listen, and the Sophomores eyes do glisten In the wish to be there soon: Working hard, hard, hard—that at last upon the card They may win themselves a standing which no opposition brooks: From their books.—books,—books,—books, books, books,—- From the studying and the grinding at .their books. We start with a strong student so studious. Who never is doubtful nor dubious. She learns every lesson And never skips a session. This lass with a laugh not lugubrious. A boy? Yes, a bit of a bucker. Not a toy, you can tire or tucker. But a grand, great old grind, With a mighty fine mind Is this pupil, whom no puzzles can pucker. Then, a girl, who will gradually grow To be something neither small, nor yet slow, A treat to the teachers, A credit to creatures A favorite—a friend—with no foe. There is one, whom the rest all call Ruth, With a zest for hard things, that's the truth. We pass over the palm To this creature so calm But we wish she’d speak louder, forsooth. Now comes a maiden with much of a mind Of whom, there is just one of that kind. She drives to distraction Herself—by her action And thinks—MAYBE she will soon be a grind. Then there’s Clara, a light lithesome lass Who is probably puzzled to pass. But her fortune’s her face And she’s gifted with grace, Though she says “can’t” continually in class. Now, mark yon fair maiden, named Martner, In whom pupils e’er prove a good partner. For she works with a will. And finds she can fill Any office, this maiden, named Martner. But Bertha? whom some be-name “Buster” Always manages some good friends to muster. She is pale and petete, With fairy-like feet. Which walk—sans bluster—sans fluster. There is also a bluffer—a boy, Who jollies a bit—just for joy. He is hearty and hale Never pining nor pale This robust and rollicksome Roy. Now a last Apostrophe to Anna Who sings in the Glee Club, soprano, Her smile is so sweet— Her dress is so neat— We are proud of this Junior, named Anna. So the class as a whole we’ll now toast. There’s not one of these meant for a roast. But in making a rhyme Words come not always in time— So the jingles are halting—at most.
