T is for Thornton, a meek little maid ; Also Thompson and Tullis, with reputes of high grade. U stands for Union, the source of all power, While V means Victory, attained every hour. W means Walter, and also Wasson, And Whitacre, the Arch Duke of Orange Blossom. X stands for Xmas, which comes once a year., Then we receive gifts from every friend dear. Y is for Yawn, and always on Monday, Teachers never saw why it couldn’t be Sunday. Z stands for Zacher, a meek little lass, Who was usually found at the head of the class. And now that I have mentioned every Senior’s name, Please remember that I tried to treat each one the same. And in the years to come, when you have all found your fates, Don’t forget old ’21, and your Senior classmates. THERESA HOOVER, ’21. 19 2 1
