For lie sends a message up high to the moon Whose inhabitants sent back an answer right soon; And as the fame of the scientist spread And his theories by every person were read Five daring adventurers our classmates were they Elmer Ekman, Ed. Norlin and Thomas Foley, C. Johnson and grave Mitchell Friedman also Said that they to the moon very shortly would go: They went in an airship, but sad tis to say We’ve never heard of them since that fatal day. Thus the record ended, so I had to let the fairy go. Oh, there was a boy In the Senior Class Of June. Nineteen Hundred Seven, He was treasurer Until December Then he tliot he’d run again But his classmates who He had served so true His kindness did not repay For of votes you see He got 23 Then these same classmates did say: Cheer up Johnny, don’t he sighing, sighing. Twenty-three votes aren’t so bad; You look sweeter when you’re smiling, smiling. And it don’t pay to get mad. Please appreciate your classmates’ kindness. In not making you Skiddoo. Johnny dear, your classmates’ votes Say its 23 for you. DEDICATED TO JOHN N I To 1m stiiicr to tin tiuii ('ln i,i up Mary ' Chorus:
