5111: ,Stomhaxu High School Quthmiic apt-uplyecg of the Glass nf 1515 Harman Q2 Hunt Kindly give me your attention, Vifake from dreaming, rouse from naps, For we know that rhymes from reason Very frequently will lapse. And I'll weave for you a. story, 'Tls a 'tale as yet untold Of this class of nineteen fifteen Of the Purple and the Gold. But, before I start this story ' Let me whisper in your ear That I live in nineteen hundred In its thirty-second year. On the High School lawn last evening There were gathered in a mass A brilllant, happy company, This same graduating class. Time had placed its mark on each one, Each brow had its line of care, But from this their grand reunion Naught detained them, all were there. On the old steps I was standing' Somewhat early at my post, Yet better earlier than later, Punctuality's my boast, And, as twillght's shades Memory wandered thro' And I thought of those old All their hopes and all descended the years. school days, their fears. 'Twas September, nineteen 'leven, Over twenty years ego, When some tlfty grinning Freshmen To our High School had to go. 'Twas the oft-repeated visit, And they came from near and far, Lordly ln their lack of wisdom, Saucy as some new-born star. Through four busy years they tarried, To the teachers it was joy, For such studlousness was never Seen before in girl Ol' boy. They demonstrated crafty problems, Chased the French verb from afar, Scribbled shorthand, English, German, Hit the typewriter, key and bar. Then, their graduation over, They had gone into the world, And through the hfteen years that fol- lowed, By Iife's blllows tossed and whirled, They had wished for a reunion Where they all could meet once And renew their youth together, Tell experiences by the score. UIOFB As I stood, thus musing ever, The hrst guests came up the road, They were Finnegan and Hamill, Chief inventors for the Ford. Their sparkless spark plug never misses, Of it, they are justly proud, Driving them was their mechanic, Our friend, Daniel N. McLeod. Mildred Gould and Florence Loughlln VVere the next ones to arrive, Famous kindergarten teachers, To latest methods quite alive. Dorothy Burgess, the noted author, Brought along her latest book: Following came Martha Louis, The world noted pastry cook. As the old familiar faces Joined the ever increasing throng, Swelled by a swift stream of autos, Peerlesses and Packards long, I realized to what extent ' Each one had made his mark, How the' world had rung their praises From the North End to the Park. In the history of the Nation There shine forth these names of note, Harold Eugene Moses Bancroft, President by sweeping vote. Our Chief-Justice, James McDonald, Has ponderous tact and strength ol' ' will, Yvhile as governor of Massachusetts Merle Farr, sits on Beacon Hill. As ambassador to China We have Woodman Walter Clough, How he put down opium smuggling Poor old China won't avow. Hattie Spooner's strong for suffrage, Her activities stir the Hub, All reporters note her doings From star man to merest cub. Cogan's Compound Soothing Syrup, Plus Keenan's Klllsure Liver Pills. Cure all things from gout to colic, Free the path of man from ills. IU '
