They always wanted extra work So they'd be sure to pass, Their pride-filled pedagogues agree They were a perfect class. And when we've heard this eulogy A hundred times or more, XN'e wish the teacher giving it X-Vould drop right through the Hoor! Now they're gone, but not forgot. Although we hardly knew 'em, VVe'd like to take each studious one . . And put a bullet through 'iml So when September brings again New faces to the scene, Let's hope they wonit look back on us As Lint Year's Grade Thirteen. Gary E. Miller, XIII. THE TATLER
