R. V. H. S. Modern Soliloquy To take the girls, or not to take them, that is the question, VVhether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The polite slander of outrageous women. Or to shell out our hard-earned cash, And by motoring take them, to go, alone, And by ourselves, to know we're rid The thousand natural whims That girls 'are heir tog 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To go, alone. Alone? Perchanee to suffer scorn! Ay, there 's t For in that lonely ride what thots may come, When we have shutiied off those artful girls, Must give us pause. There are the thoughts That make calamity of so long a trip. For who would bear the wiles and arts of girls The purses loss, the proud maid's hauteur, The pangs of despised love, R. V. H. S. delays, The catering to whims and the spurns The patient man from the ungrateful takes, When he himself ,might peaceful exit make With his own kind? Who would carpets beat, To groan and sweat to earn a sundae's price, But that dread of social ostracism, The school stamp from which No man recovers, weakens the will And makes us rather bear the trials we have, Than fly to others that we know are worse? Thus custom does make cowards of us all, And yet the longing to be free Doth conquer all our fears of scorn, And for this once, we encumbered go fWith all regards for ladies stares awryj A merry bunch of boobs to see the pl'ay. Pansy: You know Andrew likes girls but he is so bashful he acts like litmus paper. Juanita: How's that? Pansy: Why, when he's with a girl he turns red and when he's alone he gets blue. he ru Marie Gorman: Say! did you see Oliver Twist, Elsie? Elsie H. tvery shoekedj : VVhy goodness no, I never attend dances Mr. Castelo: Marie, why are you tardy? Marie G.: Why the bell' rang before I got here.
