Yet unflinching we ' ll take the decisions, Our murmurings and grumblings are few, Since we wish for a chance in the open To show men the deeds we can do. Now K, Ayres is proficien t at milking, The bossies will mourn when he leaves; And Fred Hall is a good husky fireman; Things move when the coal Freddie heaves. As for Hada, well, he ' s a tall talker, And he ' ll give the old world a good chase At figuring the drift of his lingo, And studying the lines of his face. Herr Brown, he vas been a great bainter, And will make a great change in the scene When on high verdant paint he will slather. And the dining hall takes on bright green. Joe Blades is a peddler of rain coats, His prices are right, they say, too; But when downward the water comes pouring You will think you have dealt with a Jew. Now Gibbs, D. Marie, is a smiler. There ' s none that can beat her broad grin. To the east and the west flow the ripples Of the mirth that took poor Tressler in. Walter Oliver and Miss Skow go together, In my poem as well as in life; For Miss Skow she is seeking a husband, And Walter, he dreams of a wife. Henry Schlarb is our worthy class president, As procrastinator he ' s up to date. He ' ll put off e ' en the matter of dying Until Gabriel pronounce him too late. For a hair-cut or shave, see John Vickery; With book sales he helps this fine trade; For money he whittles our whiskers — Education with rose water made. Miss Scharer is sure our class angel, Nor excuse nor a cut does she make. Miss Horn is her equal companion — Two preachers have charge of their fate. Our married men, Mott, Pogue and Courtlier, Three ships in the harbor of life — No time can they spend in vain pleasure, They ' re engaged, each, in serving a wife! The rest of the class will be victors With those who came up with the flood; But not one a bouquet does now offer To the poet who ' s burst from his bud. B. R. POGUE.
