THE CLASS ANNUAL OF ’06 9 CLASS POEM Should you ask me whence these legends, Whence these stories and traditions, I should answer, I should tell you From the whispering of the south wind From the chirping of the sparrows, From the annals of the South Town, From the records of our High School. On the avenue of cedars, Where the trolley spins along, Near the home of cake and peach-pie, Hear the striking of the gong. Tis the signal for assembling, And the lads and lassies small Hurry quickly, surely onward Toward the great red muse’s hall. And the air is fresh and wholesome And the trees have shed their green. But the color of these freshmen Still, alas, is plainly seen. For, with quiet fear and trembling, With diplomas shining bright, They have come to South Side High School For a four years’ bluff and fight. Now, around the tall red turret Hear the busy whisper fly, Is it amo amas amat? Or perchance plain x and y? O the school is buzzing with them, With their band 200 strong, As thru Scott and pure equations And French verbs they fly along. They were all so bonus bona, In their little Freshmen class; Never skipped—ah, no,—alas, So sedate about the hallwavs. Never saw them slyly reading Webster’s Rhetoric upside down, Guilty conscience never heeding. Sitting out upon the lawn. ¥

10 THE CLASS ANNUAL OF ’0 0 But their fearful first-year folly Left them soon and studious mien, Soon possessed their childish faces As they strolled across the green. Now they call themselves grave sophomores, Take all knowledge for their stores, Now, they know all South High’s secrets, Even know of Miss Kerr’s doors. Science’s path of arcs and angles, Troubles erstwhile peaceful breasts, While brave Caesar’s fighting legions. Puzzling, throng thru Latin tests. Now the Prof, begins to know them. They’ve abandoned specs and frowns And instead they’re jolly juniors And appreciate their clowns. German, French and grave orations Never trouble e’en their dreams For the fighting years are over And they’re floating down the streams Cooked and roasted, ever jollied, Jollying they glide along, Still pretending, still just bluffing, Ice cream bricks is now their song. But Blue and Gold waves o’er the tower Of that little red school house Into A room seniors wander All as quiet as a mouse; The busy whisper now is silent, Vergil’s charms the tongue doth bind, Spheres and Frustrums with peroxide Settle deep into each mind. For the class of blue and golden For the class of 19-6 Is the class of grave great seniors And to them all knowledge sticks; Hearts are fast together woven .ana by memory’s mystic loom. The golden cloth will soon be finished And hung in auld acquaintance room. But should you ask me whom we envy As we journey toward the styx I should answer I should tell you Just the class of 19-6. Sing ye legions of the South High, Sing your alma mater’s praise. But remember, oh remember We are they of olden days. T. W.
