SENIOR: And January failed to cause much buzz. But in March we blushed with envy when The Honor Society elected, four good men: ,lim Brown, Walt Jones, and Tookie,' Kniskern too, And that MacDonald girl -A Noble Crew. Megonigal and Walter Jones set forth And argued on the Nation's worth Upon the air. P. S., they won the prize. fAll this in April as you might surmisel And Peppermint Billl' fMegonigal we meanl Crashed through again, this time with penpoint keen And wrote a nifty League of Nations theme Which knocked off quite a snappy prize -in cash - Of twenty-five dollars. Let's be rash And drop the subject there. Came May, then June, And all thought vacation came none too soon. When September's breeze cooled August's heat The Senior Class came back to meet Each other in old Swarthmore High: To say we,re sorry would be a lie. The football team soon hit its stride ' And took on foes from every side' ln very stylish fashion - But wait Let's take Hallowe'en before it's too late. We Senior's gave a party grand And danced and played to Jimmie's hand. Our Elmer led the costumed folk Around the gym. lt was a joke- His legs were not coordinated Because you see, they were not mated. But all this while the hockey girls, Bouncing around with their little curls, Ran the opponents off their feet, Always on top in every meet. The next event was photographs, Some were good, and some were laughs, But, when the Christmas spirit came, The good and bad went just the same. Christmas came and went too fast. A hay ride, dances, but now it's past, And we turn our attention to other things Such as studv and all of the misery it brings. Then soon Miss Kirk put on our Senior Play, With Margie to help her and show them the way. Bean Brewster, the lass in Quality Street, Had Roh as her suitor. You could not speak Lest you be heard by the gossiper's ear So Miss Susan lived in perpetual fear. The chorus performance and Blackfriar plays Passed quickly on, and then the days Drew swiftly towards the close of school When Commencement dubbed us learned f or fooll We're sorry that we leave you now, We'd like to stay - but anyhow lt's over, and they call us free, Dedicated to history.
