And a smarter and wiser, one never could know. For of History and German and English and—well. There wasn’t a thing that class couldn’t tell. There was Walter who worked his way through every class. And Wesley who never cared whether he’d pass. While bright Minnie was just the oilier way. And burned her lamp till break of day. Hank Powell he earn honor in oratorical line. And Doc. among late risers ever did shine. Clarissa made hits with the faculty. As Mable and the two Ruths studied industriously. Gretchen A ton kept her experiments all up to date. Though Minnie and Nina as usual were late. .John Flynn he did prize-light and Malvin did learn. That to Geom and Physics his labors might turn. James Fadden as quiet as quiet could be. And Philip tried to swallow the whole Dictionary. Forest so fondly of pennies and nickels did dream, And Agnes as her ideal, a barber did deem. Ima Hastings and Elva liked German real well And Rose in the land of true lovers did dwell. Then there's Floyd who is always helping along. And Caecilia for whom the good times in Physics are n ne. The jolliest, wittiest, happiest class. That in every hard study ever did pass. Is our class, and anyone would know it. So here’s to lucky thirteen and a rest lor the poet. Caecilia M. TheimaM .

Our class, as Freshmen, was noted for two things, namely, its size, being the largest class ever entered here, and its class party, something never heard of before, which was given in the Gym, to the envy of all the other classes.
