Class of ,IQ Bids Farewell Those final days have come at last, Wlhen thoughts of parting rising fast, Make all the Seniors stop and think, And with our hearts past memories link, 'Twas just four fleeting years ago XVhen as green Freshmen meek and low, We entered dear old Tomah high. And how those happy days did fly! From Freshmen small to Sophomores bold. We soon were mightily enrolled. Then to the Junior ranks we came, Greatly increased in name and fame. Lastly as Seniors we are known, And still more fame and greatness own. But soon will come the tearful day, When mournfully we'll have to say, Goodbye old school-mates tried and true, Although in leaving we are few, XVe'll ne'er forget these happy days What ever fortune falls our way! Then sadly we will pack our books, Around the school cast lingering looks, And for the wide, wide world set out, Although our hearts be hlled with doubt. So fare-thee-well dear Tomah High. VVe're leaving thee with many a sigh. But in the days we're still to see, Our hearts shall always be with thee. Although our voices ring no more, Through thy wide halls and spacious doors, Our thoughts of thee shall never fade, YVhen fame and fortune we have made. The Senior ls the Best The Freshman has the softest snap, Of anyone in school, He'd ought to wear a small green cap But 'tis against the rule. The Sophoniore's the freshest guy Who ever walked the hill. Does he know anything? Oh! my. His knowledge is at nil. The Junior is the best of all, In his own estimation They ought to make him take a fall To help him to his destination. Without a doubt the Senior is, Much better than the rest. His wisdom is stamped on his phiz. With knowledge he is blessed. 21

Soliloquy of a Senior Ilfvith apologies to Shakespeare! To llunk, or not to llunkg that is the question, VVhether 'tis easier for the student to sullcr The groans and scoldings ol the teachers, Or to take time against a raft ol' studies, And by studying get them? To study W-to llunk-fe No more, and, by studying to say we end The lhinking, and the thousand daily lectures That we are heir to- tis a consumation The teachers wish. To learn :fto study :ef To study- -perchance to llunkg aye, there's the rub, For even if we study, what questions may come VVhich we have not desired or prepared? This makes us pause, this is the real thing That brings Calamity to our school life, For who would bear the lectures and commands, The awful grades, the teachers threatening looks, The fear of failure, the ioyless days, The cruelty of teachers, and the wrongs That patient merit ol' the student takes, W'hen he might his salvation make With much study? Who would these burdens bear, To suffer from fear ol' five weeks' reports? But that the dread of something soon to come- The unanswered semester-by this gauntlet No student passes-weakens the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than ily to others that we know are worse? Thus semesters do make cowards ol' us all, And thus the happy lives of students Are threatened by these direllul works And creations of great torture and torment, Because of these our school lives turn awry, And lose the name ol' joy. 22
