f -iff CHRONICLE Iw- On the Emblem Ken Walker has served, The business of it he has done 5 He has to his own affairs tended.- Few people have that course begun. Maddie Zeimet's a notable blonde, With hair of a glorious hue, And complexion all pinkish and white, The envy of more than a few. Gus a good manager is, On several teams he thus served, He's done a large bit for our school, And ne'er from his duty has swerved. lass Know Ye All Men by These Presents: That we, the Class of 1931, Lewis High School, of the Town of Southing- ton, Conn., being of sound and dis- posing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare the following to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made.

You all know a lad - he is Macky, One sec'y this year he has been, He writes up the sports for the Em- blem, On time his work's always come in. From New Jersey Miss Betty Holmes hails, And though she has not been here long, Popularity's high sea she sails, Her admirers from a great throng. If on the street you should see A flash both burning and bright, Don't worry, it's only a car. And whose? J. McNerney's. You're right! Nettie Howell has a great disposition, She's a girl Very much to our liking. And e'en though you may not have known it, Her hobbies are tennis and hiking. From Main Street hails Mel falias Moosej A wonderful street that must be. At least so in our eyes it seems To produce such a good man as he. A person would be very thick Who never had noticed this fact 5 Barbara Knipfer is surely a brick. For comrades she never has lacked. Next on our list comes Sparky. To some a young cynic is he, But to others who know him much better A good guy he is taken to be. Miss Meeker will make a great nurse, When she is so happy and gay, Her patients will never get worse, But recover with little delay. N Page Twenty-four -wail: CHRONICLE :bee As in the? future one looks Q He sees Andy a business man great. He's struggled and striven here, We're glad he's been our classmate. You probably know the old saying, Good things in small packages come. Well, this is the way 'tis with Perkie Who's scarcely as big as Tom Thumb. A chemist and athlete is Albert, And in other ways too he excels 3 You can be sure that no maiden His company ever repels. There is a young scholar named Lil- lian, Of a very bright cast is her mind, In truth, we've got her for valedic. Dame Wisdom to this one is kind. During these four years of High, Paul Reussner to a title has claim, It is the best comer-in-lateg He cheerfully takes all the blame. Miss Reinhard's exceedingly pretty, The nicest and neatest of girls. But Oh! It would be such a pity If she ever was shorn of her curls! In a rattling tin Ford goes Jimmy To visit a lady named J---, At such times fierce wlnds are as breezes, And pedestrians flee where they may. Tillie Wolff a young mermaid would be, A palace of seaweed, her home, Built in the depths of the bottomless sea Where gay octopuses do roam.
