Class Book, 1904 '7 Mrs. Punkins. That reminds me of the old school house. Don’t you love the old school things, tho? (All sing. Tune, '‘Down On the Farm.”) (By Brewer Good sell.) O, I love the dear old school house And the dear old school yard, too, And all the little school things— Each one I'll tell to you: There the small paper wads used to fly, fly, fly, And oft they'd glance on the teacher’s eye. And the tablets large marched in lines of blue While the fire escapes from the windows, too, And the rulers dropped upon the floor In South Side High. O, I love the dear old school house And the dear old school yard, too, And all the little school things, Each one I’ll tell to you: I recall my seat by the small ink well; And the pleasant sound of the recess hell; And the janitor with his brush and broom That awoke every microbe in the room; And the office where I sometimes sat Tn South Side High. O, I love the dear old school house And the dear old school yard, too, And all the little school things— Each one I’ll tell to you: There I studied Dutch till I had a fit And then one day I on English lit. O, ’twas lots of fun saying hie, haec, hoc, As I raked my brain for a brand new joke, And reading books three inches thick, In South Side High. Sally. Oh. here’s all you want to know about your old schoolmates. Shall I read it? Mrs. Punkins. Oh, do! Jones. Yes; go ahead. John. Oh, joy!
