8 THE GOLDEN-ROD Shall we distrub them? No, not we; Uncle Sam needs them to work for victory.

THE GOLDEN-RO D 7 H stands for Heap, with a whole heap of grit, I stands for Innis, and he did his bit. L is for Ladd, a plucky lad, too. N is for Nixon, who was always true-blue. O is for O’Brien, who was wounded one day. R is for Reynolds, who played the right way. T is for Taylor, our manager fine, W for Walker, who went over the line. It is, also, for Waite, the last it is seen. They all worked together for 1918. IX There was a basket ball coach, who lived in our school; He thought of a scheme when the weather grew cool. He got up a team of the Seniors, to play, And vowed they would lick all the others some day. Old “Hank” O’Brien kept on a-trying. And a faithful old soul was he; He called for his team, His heart was a-glcam, His team was a sight to see. Innis and Robbie, Fostcllo and Reynolds, And Walker and Ladd, had he. “The chanpionship! the championship,” was their cry. It wasn’t a dream of this wonderful team For they won the championship for 1918. X It was on a merry time, When arrangements were begun, On our Senior class dramatics, Which we hoped would please each one. Nicholson, as manager, Did make a great success; He managed all the business In the way that he thought best. A committee then was chosen, Which soon did prove a corker; Of Misses Lawry and Roadie, And Carlson and Walker. They chose Sheridan’s “Rivals”, A classic play of old; And Miss O’Neil, of former fame, As coach was good as gold. Miss Phillips and Miss Empey, Two ladies’ parts did fill; And Misses Rund and Jackson, Read their lines with a will. Curtin, Shaw, and Robinson, McBrayne, Carlson, and Blake, And George and Carino, Complete, the cast did make. With this able cast and coach, A great success was made ; And the shows of former years, Were all out in the shade. XI There were many girls in our class, And they did like to fool; They carefully put their hair on rags, And April 1st came to school. And when the boys saw these rag curls, With all their might and main, They then did tease the many girls, And hair went up again. XII Childstedt felt he had a call, To join the army first of all ; So army khaki he put on, And went away to fight the Hun. XIII Little boy blue, come blow your horn; And find where so many others have gone. Please tell me what caused it and what you saw; Oh, now I understand, it was the war.
