Swin time in Springtime The spring of nineteen thirty-six Found us entrenched in High School With most a year behind us then Of harder work and sterner rule — Besides our algebra we learned A more important thing — That there ' d come into music A type that ' s known as swing! The only swing we knew before Was made of chains and wood, But Benny Goodman ' s music Changed its meaning — and for good! We shagged into our second year At good old T. H. S. We swing into a stunt night That was a grand success — As Juniors all our efforts turned Toward putting on a show For the Junior-Senior banquet, — The night of nights, you know. Swing played a mighty part in this — We put on many dances. The flying heels we had to miss Might well be termed as chances ! Now. in our Senior year, we ' ve tried To round out high school knowledge With every type of work we ' ll nc:d To see us through in college — Studying, debating, all athletics. Music, acting, — everything We changed to higher tempo To keep the beat of — swing! Swingtime in Springtime! That phrase you ' ve heard before — But wait a minute, readers — turn the page — we ' ll tell you more! Page Fifteen
