FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAI Our Lights While sitting 'neath their dreary gleam And studying our lessons, We sometimes wish the sun would beam Or that our lights would freshen. At first they're bright, and then they're dinig Sometimes they're not at all: Then Prof. goes at it with a vim, To try to light the hall. They burn, they Hare, and then they flicker, And make such noise That Prof. can't even hear us snicker-- CLeave that part to the boys.J Even when he gets them lighted Going good and strong, It looks to us as if they're blighted, And won't last very long. If the kitchen you should visit Where Miss Stacey reigns, You will say-- whatever is it,' This groaning, as from pains. 1 She says she is nearly crazy From their buzz and roar, Such sweet music makes us lazy-- We want to work no more. It is fun to see Prof. travel All around that hall, Trying the mystery to unravel, VVhy they don't burn at all. Again we turn back to our lessons, And wish the sun would shine, To come and brighten our clark sessions, And straighten out our spine. - joseph fl0I'f0I1, '2-3. Tliere's a most clever teacher named Fahy, She's here, and she's going to stay. I do not know why- But the look in her eye- Well-I guess I would rather not say.
