SEN FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS Herman, Pres. Thomson, Vice Pres. Metcalfe, Secy. Mercer, Treas. Apologies many to Ogden Nash who inspired the meter, rhyme and tone And who is a favorite of the Senior Class, especially B. I. and Chaney. But, with more apologies to Chaucers and other sources, this pome Threatens to border on the A B C order, which is slightly painy. Candidly we may proceed And allow you to read of Seniors omitting none With special attention to those of ostentation along lines from bats to the brainy. D is for dizzy but fair from verbose Fissy to jocose Blair. E for the elegant: beautiful Butches And woe to the man who gets in their clutches. F for friendships sounds simpering but June fourth will see a whimpering lot. Glumly gliding from Graduation G we see will be for the girls in general. However, in spite of its outstanding women the Senior class is ashamed of nomen. H is for heroes from fiddlers and Neros to burners like Turner ' s to the subtler like Butler. In every activity out of captivity i is indicative of their initiative and of their wish t ' live . Journalists and journey ists, justices to be talkative and putative (contemplative to thee) from Knights bold to kinder shy and tinder Kwinkers, ex- to Door henpecks. 14
