Frosh The Freshman class is a whirlwind, They're loyal to their school, you betg They always look up to the Seniors, And to the Juniors take off their hat. Now theres Frenchy, a cute little thing, Hc'll meet you half way with a smile, But his glance always rests on a lady Three seats across the aisle. There's Mercedes Thomas I think you'll agree Has a bad case on another Freshyg Rowland always agrees in a whole-hearted way To take her for a ride in the old Chevrolet. Big Bill Bradshaw, so straight and tall, S0 far this year has had no fall, But one day not long ago Bill wasn't acting just so slow, The girl ahead said, It's plain to see You're trying to flirt, you can't fool me. Pansy Csborn, as you know, Along with the rest, shes got a beau. It was in the days of her Freshman year She either caught Frenchy or Frenchy caught her. Billie Helm has pretty light hair And so far as we know there's something else light up there. Bill has no girl, he stands alone, But he is expecting to find one soon. Genevieve and Geneva it's hard to tell apart, But they sure do the work when once they get a start, They're always looking lonely and sad, Lookie here, Frosh boys, don't you think it's too bad? Judge Wilcox comes next on our list, And all the boys know he can swing a wicked fistg Thru all the dreary school he sits up bold and straight, And it puzzles all the Seniors as to what will be his fate And now we will tell you about Maxine Bean, Who with an outsider is alsways seen, But when it comcs to Algebra class She will not take anyones sass. Harvey Stevenson is a Freshman this year, But of the Seniors he has no fear, He comes to school of his free good will And uses his knowledge with the utmost skill, .-.3 5g
