FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL THE WRECK. REGINALD THOMAS-1918. The day was snowy, cloudy and cold, The Wind was howling, so 17111 told, From the station started the K. SL P. To make another trip, you see. As they neared the cut With lightning speed, The old coach groaned as one in need. With a grinding of bnakes it left the track, Turned once over and struck on its back. Then out crawled the passengers and crew, And some of theln were quite black and blue, Others had cuts and sprains galore, But they thought the conductor was l1urt som Now none Were hurt as bad as they thought, And decided they woul'dn't again be caught, But would go overland another day And thank their stars they were able to stay. Now here is the story as it is told, You see that it will readily hold A Wvarning which Wie all should heed- Don't go after that thing called speed. 9 lT10I'9
